Abstract

The toxic effects of 14 commercially available fungicides on the earthworm, Eisenia fetida (Savigny), were evaluated using surface sprayed soil, immersion and contact filter tests. At recommended dose, the earthworm mortality is 4% on mancozeb, carbendazim, propineb and captan in the surface sprayed soil test, 4% on mancozeb, 6% on propineb and 10% on captan in the immersion test, and no effect on all used chemicals in contact filter test.

농경지에 과거에 사용했거나 사용중인 살균제 14종에 대하여 농경지에 뿌려지는 추천사용량을 기준으로 토양표토처리법, 침지법, 여지접촉법으로 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 추천사용량에서 14종의 농약이 무처리와 통계적으로 유의성이 없는 것으로 나타나, 이런 농약들은 줄지렁이 치사에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 benomyl, Thiophanate-methyl, carbendazim 농약은 지렁이에게 독성이 높은 것으로 보고되어 있어 추가적인 검토가 필요하다고 생각된다.
