- Abstract
The article aims to determine the sensitivity of M. aquaticum to 17 pesticides using several endpoints. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoid and increases in shoot length, root number, total root length, fresh weight, side shoot number and side shoot length were measured. EC50 values were determined on the basis of dose response relationships of the active substances in pesticides. The results have been compared with another macrophyte discussed in the literature. Recent investigations demonstrated that Some species of Myriophyllum are most suitable plants for testing pesticide toxicity.
