Despite the increasing use of pesticides in tropical countries, research and legislative efforts
have focused on their temperate counterparts. This paper presents a review of the literature …

Currently used pesticides (CUPs) represent one of the largest intentional inputs of
potentially hazardous compounds into agricultural soils. Subsequently, pesticide residues …

A better understanding of how soil organic matter (OM) content influences pesticide toxicity
to soil invertebrates is needed to improve the ecological relevance of risk assessment …

This study aimed to assess the chronic toxicity and risk of clothianidin in a seed dressing
formulation to non-target soil invertebrates. The toxicity assays were performed with two …

The avoidance behavior is regarded as the method that provides first hand information
about the behavior of an organism in the presence of contaminants in the soil. Very little data …

The indiscriminate and excessive use of pesticides poses serious risks to humans and the
environment, including soil biota. Ecotoxicological tests are useful to indicate the extent to …

Terrestrial ecotoxicological tests are powerful tools for assessing the ecological risks that
pesticides pose to soil invertebrates, but they are rarely used to evaluate seed dressing …

In modern agricultural practices, Metsulfuron-methyl (sulfonylurea herbicide) is widely
employed to inhibit the weeds and grasses. The current study revealed that Metaphire …

In order to assess the influence of temperature on pesticide toxicity to soil fauna, specimens
of the predatory mite Hypoaspis aculeifer and the springtail Folsomia candida were exposed …

The influence of temperature on the chronic toxicity and risk of imidacloprid to soil non-target
species was assessed in tropical soils. Earthworms Eisenia andrei and collembolans …
