Abstract/Contents: | Presents a report "on the effect of carbaryl, a carbamate insecticide on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in two tropical earthworms Drawida calebi (Gates) and Octochaetona surensis (Michaelsen)." Results indicate that Carbaryl has differential inhibition of AChE activity in tropical earthworms which are non target organisms." Proposes that the "monitoring of AChE activity in earthworms has the potential to serve as a bioindicator to pesticide pollution in the soil subsystem." |
