Conteúdo: | Soil organisms play a crucial role in the terrestrial ecosystem. Plant protection products (PPPs) are known to affect soil organisms and might have negative impacts on soil functions influenced by these organisms. Little research has been performed to date on the impact of PPPs on tropical soil ecosystems. Therefore, in this study it was investigated whether the effects of the fungicide benomyl (chosen as a model substance) differ between tropical and temperate regions and whether data generated under temperate conditions can be used for the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) in tropical regions. The effect of benomyl on earthworms was evaluated in acute and chronic laboratory tests modified for tropical conditions. These tests were performed at two temperatures (20ºC and 28ºC) and with two strains (temperate and tropical) of the compost worm Eisenia fetida. The fungicide was spiked in two natural and two artificial soils.
