Abstract:
The present study describes the impact of azoxystrobin against Pheretima posthuma earthworm. LD50 of azoxystrobin (Fungicide) was found to be at 3.21 ppm in soil. Mortality has been found as 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 70% against doses of 0.50 ppm, 1.0 ppm, 2.0 ppm, 4.0 ppm and 8.0 ppm of soil at post exposure of 48-hours by plotting the doses against average death values through probit analysis. The concentrations of azoxystrobin 0.50 ppm and 8.0 ppm of soil showed 20% and 70% mortality respectively at post treatment of 48-hours in adult earthworms.
