ABSTRACT

The use of glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup is massively used in agriculture. However, there are negative impacts on the earthworm biodiversity. Hence, the primary quantitative empirical study aims toward understanding the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup on earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae. A review and related understanding of previous research on the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup on earthworms was reviewed. Indigenous viewpoints were also developed for the study using earlier research findings. IBM SPSS was used to carry out quantitative analysis following the main data gathering. Thirteen-item questionnaires were presented to seventy survey respondents, who were then chosen for an interview aimed at gathering data. Herbicides containing glyphosate have been found to affect Eudrilus eugeniae physiology and behaviour. It was also observed that the earthworm's survival rate and biodiversity are influenced by several aspects, including the kind of soil, feeding rate, length of exposure, and Roundup concentration. Simultaneously, it was contended that these herbicides affect both the finished product and human health. The results of the inquiry are rationally analysed, and suggestions based on statistical analysis are provided in the discussion part. Furthermore, the protein provides enough information to cover the outcomes. The research summary and a general interpretation of the findings are provided in order to provide a concise overview of the entire empirical inquiry.
