From the importance of organic carbon in reproduction tests with Eisenia fetida

Résumé

The standard Eisenia fetida chronic toxicity reproduction test is normalized and needs up to 8 weeks of experimentation. Many matrixes have shown toxic effects on the earthworms' survey, growth and reproduction. But the food factor may affect the organisms' responses to contaminated media in such tests. We try to evaluate the effect, or not, of the organic carbon content present in the environment, as spreadable organic wastes added in soil, on the reproduction test of Eisenia fetida. We confirm the influence of the organic matter content on earthworm reproduction. This "food" factor must be considered when studying environmental samples rich in organic matter, since that could mask potentially harmful effects. To minimize this potential "food" effect during reproduction tests, we recommend an inverse gradient of organic matter contribution by the "horse dung" food applied in all conditions according to the dose of agricultural amendments tested.
