Effects of triclopyr on the earthworm ( Eisenia fetida ) under laboratory conditions: assessment of growth inhibition and oxidative stress

Key Points

• This research aims to assess the effects of triclopyr on the growth and oxidative stress levels in Eisenia fetida.
• Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of triclopyr.
• IBR analysis was employed to measure oxidative stress and growth inhibition over time.
• Triclopyr caused significant growth inhibition in Eisenia fetida, correlating with increased oxidative stress levels.
• Toxicity patterns showed concentration-dependent and time-dependent effects during the assessment.
