Effect of Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC on Eisenia fetida Exposed in Coco Peat and Sphagnum Peat

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...

Rajini and K. RevathyToxicity 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 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. No significant difference was observed in mortality and biomass between the two soil substrates, but a significant difference was observed in the reproduction. Based on the observations, it is concluded that coco peat can also be used as an alternative to sphagnum peat in toxicity studies.https://neptjournal.com/upload-images/(34)B-3688.pdfchlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, eisenia fetida, sphagnum peat
