Relating results from earthworm toxicity tests to agricultural soil Relating results from earthworm toxicity tests to agricultural soil
The artificial soil tests of the European Economic Community and of the Organization for Economic Cooperation produce data relating earthworm mortality to pesticide concentrations in soil under laboratory conditions. To apply these results to agricultural soils it is necessary to relate these concentrations to amounts of pesticide applied per area. This paper reviews the relevant...

A comparison of the nesting success of mourning doves and American robins in conventionally managed and organic orchards A comparison of the nesting success of mourning doves and American robins in conventionally managed and organic orchards
A comparative study was undertaken to document more closely the effects of operational pesticide use on non-target avian species. Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) and American Robin (Turdus migratorius) nesting activity was monitored in three organic and three conventional orchards during two breeding seasons. Surveys were conducted to characterize the avian community within orchards...

Effects of aerial applications of esfenvalerate on small mammals and birds in Douglas-fir seed orchards Effects of aerial applications of esfenvalerate on small mammals and birds in Douglas-fir seed orchards
Although no adverse effects were documented, this study did not provide data sufficient to adequately test for effects of aerial spraying of esfenvalerate on small mammal populations or nesting of birds in Douglas-fir seed orchards. Small mammal trapping data were too sparse to provide statistical testing with reasonable power. Residues of the R and S forms of fenvalerate were low with...
