Abstract
Formaldehyde is toxic and commercial 'hot' mustard is difficult to standardise and inefficient when used without hand-sorting. Accounting for the accuracy of the sampling methods as well as the toxicity of the chemicals to users and soil organisms, AITC appears to be a reliable and promising chemical expellant whether or not in combination with hand-sorting. Its use would be a step towards standardizing earthworm sampling methods.
