Toxicity of thifluzamide in earthworm (Eisenia fetida)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
An increase in the area treated with the fungicide thifluzamide has triggered concerns for soil ecosystem service providers such as earthworms. Here, we assessed effects of thifluzamide on earthworm (Eisenia fetida) biomarker indicators of stress responses and reproduction following exposure to 0, 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 mg of thifluzamide kg-1 soil for 7 ...

Enantioseletive bioaccumulation of tebuconazole in earthworm Eisenia fetida [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2012
Methods of extraction and determination of tebuconazole enantiomers in earthworm (Eisenia fetida) were developed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Both CE and HPLC have excellent resolution and recovery.
