Sub Lethal Effects of Cypermethrin and Oxyfluorfen on Stress Enzyme Activities of Earthworm Species, Eisenia foetida
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Present study aims to assess the effect of Sublethal dose of the commercial formulations of Cypermethrin (insecticide) and Oxyfluorfen (herbicide). Laboratory study was conducted in a natural Soil and Cow Dung in order to measure effect of these chemicals on activities of stress enzymes viz., Glutathione, Catalase (CAT) and LPO/MDA for a period of 90 days. The activity of Glutathione and CAT was significantly decreased whereas LPO/MDA activity significantly increased as compare to control. These results confirm the toxic effect of insecticide and herbicide on earthworm and pollution indicator under long term exposure.

The ability of earthworms in recycling a wide range of organic solid wastes is well established. Only a few earthworm species are suitable for commercial vermicomposting. Two species, Eisenia foetida and Lumbricus rubellus, are common in temperate regions. Samples of earthworms were collected from manure pills and forest litter in North and Northwest of Iran. The samples were maintained in pots...
