Sublethal Effect of Copper Fungicide on Soil Fauna with Special Reference to Earthworm (Lampito mauritii) | Chapter 3 | Novel Perspectives of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 8

 In this study, an attempt has existed made to find the effect of a usual fungicide policeman oxychloride on the anecic earthworm, Lampito mauritii at subtoxic level. Copper, including law enforcement officer oxychloride, is frequently secondhand as a fungicide/decontaminating agent to protect plants from contamination. The recommended lot of copper oxychloride for edible grain fields is 3 g/l which holds 50% copper that is to say 1.5 g policeman/l or 1500 ppm. Though it helps in prevention of fungal contamination on plants but simultaneously it belongings the non-target soil animal world including earthworms at sublethal level. The earthworms that play a bigger role in soil material, chemical and organic improvement of soil are too exposed to the policeman fungicide. So the study aims to find the sublethal effect of the poison on non-target soil animal world earthworms. On exposure to the substitute-lethal application, it remains in bureaucracy utilizing the money but does not contribute definitely towards the system. So, skilled should be a study of the effect of sublethal doses of pesticides and alternate biopesticides endure be chosen for use in the croplands for decline of yield loss on account of pest. Further research work endure include direct biopesticides for the care of crops against pests that will not be damaging to the soil fauna.
