I find the following to be of great interest re atrazine herbicide.  In this
study, it was tested on fruit flies:

"The female-specific and hormonally regulated yolk protein genes were
significantly ...repressed by atrazine in females.... Our study also
suggests that xenobiotic-induced changes in P450 levels can affect insect
fitness by interfering with hormonally regulated networks."

Then check out the map of actual atrazine use at
