Abstract
⺠The toxicity of seed dressing pesticides was tested on earthworms. ⺠Lower-tier laboratory tests were performed in tropical conditions. ⺠Only the pesticide with imidacloprid caused mortality in Eisenia andrei. ⺠All the tested pesticides showed negative effects in the chronic toxicity test. ⺠Avoidance tests were the most sensitive for the substances investigated in the study.
