Toxicity Of Herbicide Mixtures: Atrazine And Roundup® Toxicity To Daphnia Magna, Jennifer A. Stiles
Toxicity Of Herbicide Mixtures: Atrazine And Roundup® Toxicity To Daphnia Magna, Jennifer A. Stiles
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
Herbicide use in agricultural systems often causes runoff to contain chemical mixtures that may have greater deleterious effects on non-target organisms than the same chemicals would have when found alone. Little information is known about how some of these chemicals act in mixtures, though many of their individual effects have been described. It is important to understand what effects these chemical mixtures have to identify protective application levels. In this experiment, a 21-day chronic Daphnia magna toxicity test was conducted using an atrazine and Roundup® mixture. Five concentrations of atrazine were tested (0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0mg/L). The mixture treatments …
