Effect of pesticides on the reproductive output of Eisenia fetida. Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 2007 Nov;79(5):529-32 Authors: Yasmin S, D'Souza D We investigated the effects of three different pesticides (carbendazim, dimethoate, and glyphosate) and their mixture on the growth and reproduction of the earthworm species, Eisenia fetida. The study was conducted following the suggestion of the International Workshop on Earthworm Ecotoxicology. The results showed that the pesticide treatment had a marked negative impact on the growth and reproduction of earthworms. Carbendazim and dimethoate were found to cause greater harm to the selected earthworm species than glyphosate. PMID: 17891325 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Read more...             |
