“…In the study described in the present paper, imidacloprid disturbed the reproduction of D. veneta, which was manifested by a significant reduction in the number of laid cocoons, so the studied population did not develop. A similar effect was demonstrated by Wang et al (2015a), who investigated the effect of neonicotinoids: imidacloprid, clothianidin, nitenpyram, thiacloprid and acetamiprid in relation to the mature E. fetida specimens in the artificial soil test. All the applied measures restricted the number and weight of cocoons and the number of earthworms hatched from one cocoon.…”

In the laboratory experiment, the effect of neonicotinoid Nuprid 200SC at the dose recommended by the manufacturer on the dynamics of population of earthworms Dendrobaena veneta was assessed. The studies were conducted on mature D. veneta specimens, in 4 replications of beddings (control, insecticide) in the climatic chamber. Condition of the population was checked five times, using a method of manual segregation of beddings. Insecticide limited the increase in number and biomass of D. veneta population (both the whole population, mature specimens and immature earthworms), but also restricted its reproduction (it decreased the number of cocoons laid by earthworms (p<0.05)).

“…The authors reported that exposures in the range 0.8-2.0 mg/kg also reduced the fecundity of this species between 39.5 and 84% depending on the compounds, while causing significant disruption of epidermal and midgut tissues. The median number of hatched cocoons (EC50) for earthworms exposed to imidacloprid was determined as 0.92 mg/kg soil, and its lowest observed effect concentrations (LOECs) for hatchability, AChE activity, growth, and DNA damage were 0.02, 0.1, 0.5, and 0.5 mg/kg soil, respectively (Wang et al 2015c). Mixtures of imidacloprid and lambdacyhalotrin appear to have antagonistic toxicity in these earthworms (Wang et al 2015f).…”

New information on the lethal and sublethal effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on organisms is presented in this review, complementing the previous Worldwide Integrated Assessment (WIA) in 2015. The high toxicity of these systemic insecticides to invertebrates has been confirmed and expanded to include more species and compounds. Most of the recent research has focused on bees and the sublethal and ecological impacts these insecticides have on pollinators. Toxic effects on other invertebrate taxa also covered predatory and parasitoid natural enemies and aquatic arthropods. Little new information has been gathered on soil organisms. The impact on marine and coastal ecosystems is still largely uncharted. The chronic lethality of neonicotinoids to insects and crustaceans, and the strengthened evidence that these chemicals also impair the immune system and reproduction, highlights the dangers of this particular insecticidal class (neonicotinoids and fipronil), with the potential to greatly decrease populations of arthropods in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Sublethal effects on fish, reptiles, frogs, birds, and mammals are also reported, showing a better understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity of these insecticides in vertebrates and their deleterious impacts on growth, reproduction, and neurobehaviour of most of the species tested. This review concludes with a summary of impacts on the ecosystem services and functioning, particularly on pollination, soil biota, and aquatic invertebrate communities, thus reinforcing the previous WIA conclusions .

The importance of the earthworms in the agricultural practices is well known. The increasing applications of pesticides and chemicals in the agricultural farms have adversely influenced the flora and fauna of the soil. Earthworms which immensely contribute in increasing the quality and fertility of agricultural soil are reported be worst hit organisms under such conditions. Recent reports have indicated growing interests among researchers to explore biochemical and molecular markers as indicators of accumulation of pollutants in the soil in general and pesticides in particular. The varying levels of several biomolecules in different parts of the earthworm have been reported which are indicative of sensitivity of the organisms to different xenobiotics. However, the existing information lacks the literature displaying stock of information regarding the impact of pesticides on the levels of some key enzymes regulating many crucial functions in the earthworm at one place. Keeping in view this issue, it was envisaged to bring out a mini review which illustrates updated information available on the impact of pesticides on the activities of certain key enzymes reported to be responsible for catalysing metabolic pathways concerning the neurotransmission system, energy metabolism, oxidative stress and amino acids metabolism in different body parts of the earthworms, a prospective bioindicators of pesticides contamination in the soil.
