The present study investigated the effect of herbicides on survival, growth parameters and fecundity of E. fetida for 90 days. Different doses of herbicides viz. Pendimethalin and Glyphosate were used individually and in combinations. Minimum number of survived adult earthworm and least number of cocoons counted were 17.6±0.33 &19.6±0.66 respectively in tubs where worms were treated with Pendimethalin+Glyphosate @1.50+2.50 µl/kg of substrate. Similarly minimum body weight (0.40±0.06 gram) and length (6.56±0.34 cm) gain was also in same treatment. Individually Pendimethalin was more lethal when compared with Glyphosate.
