A Review on the Impact of Atrazine Herbicides on Earthworm Populations and Soil Health

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Atrazine, a widely used herbicide, effectively controls broadleaf and grassy weeds but raises concerns about its environmental impact, particularly on non-target organisms like earthworms. Earthworms play a crucial role in soil health and fertility, making it imperative to understand how atrazine affects them. This review synthesizes current research on the impact of atrazine on earthworm populations, focusing on survival, reproduction, behavior, enzymatic activity, and broader soil health implications.
