It is, therefore, necessary to develop an ade- Eisenia fetida, in the breakdown of endosulfan in quate evaluating method for determining impact of pesti- a soil environment. Two strains of E. fetida were cides on non-target species. Several scientific approaches used in this study to assess the effect of salinity have demonstrated that earthworms, such as Lumbricus on toxicity and metabolism of endosulfan in terrestris and Eisenia fetida, are excellent model
