Effect of Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC on Eisenia fetida Exposed in Coco Peat and Sphagnum Peat
Toxicity effect of Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC to terrestrial invertebrate Eisenia fetida in two different sphagnum peat substituted soil was assessed. Artificial soil substrate for earthworm toxicity test comprises of 70% sand, 20% clay and 10% sphagnum peat. In this study, coco peat was...

Artificial soil substrate for earthworm toxicity test comprises of 70% sand, 20% clay and 10% sphagnum peat. In this study, coco peat was used as an alternative substitute for sphagnum peat. The LC50 was 83.7 mg/kg for coco peat and 76.3 mg/kg for sphagnum peat soil.
