Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Rev& Res - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Pesticides use affects the human health, soil ecosystems and atmosphere vicinity. It is possible to find examples where pesticides have impacted on soil non-target organisms mainly soil invertebrates. Earthworms play a important role in soil system. The pesticides effect on non-target soil organisms, particularly those affecting the very familiar farmer’s friend earthworm. Several research studies have reported different types of malformations of earthworm’s growth in response to exposure to chemicals. In this review paper, we examine what can currently be surmised about the direct and indirect long-term, field impacts of pesticides upon the earthworm growth.
