Evaluation of the azole pesticides toxicity to freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna Straus

A comparative assessment of the toxicity of the azole pesticide action on the processes of Daphnia life is made. It demonstrates the different intensity of toxic effects of the xenobiotics analyzed. The findings of chronic experiment allowed to determine inoperative and threshold concentration of the substances studied. It was found out that for the same content of active substance (metsulfuron-methyl) Singer showed great toxicity, which is caused by the presence of more toxic components in the mixture. It was concluded that in this case, more rational for the environment is the use of the herbicide Laren, as less dangerous to aquatic organisms studied.
