Evaluación del riesgo ambiental de carbofurano en bioensayos con organismos no blanco

carbofuran is one of the most employed pesticides in peruvian agriculture. this research aimed to evaluate the risk assessment in bioassays of carbofuran on eleven non-target species. the following relative sequence in decreasing ecotoxicity order in terms of rq (risk quotient) to carbofuran to 19 end points on 11 species was found: daphnia magna (mortality) > lemna minor (inhibition of new fronds) > paracheirodon innesi (strange swim) = p. innesi (increase of opercula movement) > chironomus calligraphus (mortality) > l. minor (necrosis) > p. innesi (mortality) > l. minor (chlorosis) > tetrapygus niger (inhibition of fertilization)> coturnix japonica (mortality) > oncorhynchus mykiss (increase of coloration) > ceraeochrysa cincta (not hatch of eggs) > o. mykiss (mortality without oxygen) > o. mykiss (mortality with oxygen) > trichogramma pretiosum (mortality) > c. cincta (mortality) > t. pretiosum (not emergence of adults) > trichogramma pintoi (mortality) > beauveria bassiana (inhibition of growth). risk quotient (rq) indicated that carbofuran is highly risky mainly to aquatic environment than terrestrial.
