Means with different superscripts at the column are statistically different (P < 0.05).
NC (negative control); GLY (2 mg L−1 glyphosate); MAL (0.5 mg L−1 malathion); GLY + MAL: (glyphosate 1.6 mg L−1 and malathion 0.3 mg L−1). GLY + OS: (glyphosate 2 mg L−1 and Organic Selenium 0.8 g kg−1 diet), MAL + OS: (malathion 0.5 mg L−1 and Organic Selenium 0.8 g kg−1 diet) and GLY + MAL + OS: (glyphosate 1.6 mg L−1 ; malathion 0.3 mg L−1 and OS 0.8 g kg−1 diet).
