Direct Application of Coffee Pulp Vermicompost Produced from Epigeic Earthworms and Its Residual Effect on Vegetative and Reproductive Growth of Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

The Scientific World Journal, 2023
In areas where coffee is growing, there is a huge potential to get coffee pulp, which produces a bad odor and air and water pollution. On the other hand, the farming practice in the study area is still traditional and highly dependent on artificial ...

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored‐product beetle

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4319-4331, May 2026.
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Biological treatment of distillery wastewater by application of the vermifiltration technology

South African Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2018
In this study distillery wastewater was treated using the vermifiltration technology in a bid to reduce downstream contamination by the effluent. 10 kg of Eisenia fetida earthworms were used as the vermifiltration media in a 0.5 m × 0.5 m x 0.3 m ...

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Organic Sunscreens Used Worldwide, Alone and in Mixture, on Terrestrial Plants

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 257-269, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The environmental hazards of sunscreens are discussed worldwide. However, there are few ecotoxicological studies on these compounds alone for edaphic organisms, and none for their mixtures. Avobenzone (1 and 10 ng/L), octocrylene (10 and 100 μg/L), and oxybenzone (2 and 20 μg/L), alone and in binary combinations (between the lowest and the ...

Swabbing as a Non‐Lethal DNA Collection Method for Earthworm Barcoding: Performance and Citizen Science Perspectives

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Earthworm DNA barcoding commonly relies on lethal tissue sampling, which can discourage participation in citizen science projects due to emotional concerns. By comparing swab‐based and tissue‐based DNA collection methods, we show that swab sampling represents a promising, participant‐friendly option for citizen science–based earthworm biodiversity ...

Effects of organic amendments on productivity, nitrogen uptake, and protein content in pea–barley intercrops

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Cereal‐legume intercropping combined with organic amendments is considered to be a promising technique to improve crop productivity and efficiency in land use. The intercropping performance is influenced by pedoclimatic conditions, crop combinations, and crop management.

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Butylparaben in Edaphic Organisms Using Multiple Biomarkers

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 176-189, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Butylparaben (BuP) recurrently contaminates soils worldwide, mainly by incorporating sewage sludge into cultivated areas, using wastewater in irrigation, and leaching contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on the ecotoxicological effects of this paraben on edaphic organisms.

Riboflavin as a Source of Autofluorescence in Eisenia fetida Coelomocytes

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2006
ABSTRACTImmunocompetent cells of earthworms (coelomocytes) contain adherent amoebocytes and large eleocytes (chloragocytes); the latter are filled with numerous granules. We have previously shown that eleocytes of several (but not all) earthworm species exhibit strong autofluorescence detectable by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry.
