Impact of fungicide and insecticide use on non-target aquatic organisms in rice paddy fields

Abstract

The intensive use of plant protection products in rice paddy fields ( Oryza sativa L.) has caused concern about the environmental impact on communities of non-target organisms that are natural inhabitants in these agroecosystems. The purpose of this review is to analyze the data currently available in the literature about some important fungicides and insecticides (such as trifloxystrobin, tebuconazole, tricyclazole, lambda-cyhalothrin, and thiamethoxam), which are currently used to control pests and diseases in rice paddy fields, as well as their effects on the community of non-target aquatic organisms.

Pesticide residues in the Formoso River: a threat to biodiversity in the Cerrado of the Tocantins State, Brazil

“…Tricyclazole is currently one of the fungicides recommended for the treatment of diseases in irrigated rice. Wandscheer et al, (2017) indicates that the application of the tricyclazole fungicide leads to an increase in the genotoxic activity in the rice crop water, through the appearance of chromosomal abnormalities. This substance appears to have adversely effects on reproductive tissues and hormone levels (Fattahi, 2015).…”

Toxicity evaluation of the active ingredient acetamiprid and a commercial formulation (Assail® 70) on the non-target gastropod Biomphalaria straminea (Mollusca: Planorbidae)

“…Anthropogenic contamination of aquatic systems has increased worldwide and is an issue of major global concern (Anderson et al, 2016;Ghorade et al, 2014;Rasmussen et al, 2015;SanJuan-Reyes et al, 2017). The intensive use of a wide variety of chemical products as pesticides in modern agriculture constitutes an important source of pollutants which enter into the aquatic environment often causing toxic effects on the organisms inhabiting it (Katagi, 2010;Sánchez-Bayo et al, 2016;Tišler et al, 2009;Wandscheer et al, 2017;Werner and Moran, 2008).…”
