Abstract
The impacts of pesticides (insecticides, molluscides, bactericides, fungicides, nematicides etc) were investigated on an earthworm population reproduction potential. Modern agriculture field totally depend the inorganic fertilizers and pesticides for their queue amount of yield. More than 99 % of applied pesticides have the potential to affect non-target organisms and become widely dispersed in the vicinity as potential contaminants. Due to this soil organisms are totally affected. Earthworms are called as farmer’s friend. They also affected by excess usage of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides. Pesticides have the effect on reproduction potential of earthworms so automatically the population of the worms decline. This review explains the impact of pesticides on reproduction potential of earthworms.
