Abstract

Earthworms were very sensitive to the investigated pyrethroids Decis 2.5 EC, Karate 025 EC and Bulldock 025 EC. Laboratory preparations, even in concentrations 100 times lower than that suggested for application in plant protection (0.03-0.05%), were highly toxic to the earthworms. Therefore, more attention should be paid not only to the useful properties of the preparations, but also to their possible side-effects in environmental field studies.
