Earthworms were exposed to Tricyclozole 75% WP pesticides to see how it affects them. Different concentrations of the pesticide were tested on earthworms in artificial soil. The researchers looked at the earthworms' behavior, mortality rate, and biomass over a period of 14 days. The study found that Tricyclozole 75% WP is toxic to Eisenia fetida earthworms in artificial soil.
