ABSTRACT

Experiments demonstrated the influence of various forms of alkaloids of N. lutea (water-insoluble free and water soluble hydrochloride, as well as aqueous extracts of comminuted rhizomes) on viability of common carp and grass carp embryos. Spermicidal and fungicidal activities of all these substances have been proven. Soluble alkaloids are highly toxic.
