Abstract
Collembola or springtails are considered to be good model organisms for determining ecological toxicity and are used as non-target bio-indicators in environmental assessments. The susceptibility of these microarthropods to different edaphic perturbations is remarkable. One significant element leading to the degradation of soil quality in modern times is the indiscriminate use of insecticides in agricultural fields. Even while using insecticides in agriculture might be profitable, the harmful consequences of these chemicals affect not just the targeted pests that are intended to harm but also a variety of important soil fauna. The adoption of sustainable farming methods is the key to cultivating and conserving a diversified soil community, which plays critical roles in supplying functions and services throughout ecosystems. The goal of this review is to thoroughly explain the negative effects of insecticides on these vital micro-arthropods. An examination of the effects of several insecticides on various Collembola species reveals that collembola is among one of the most vulnerable soil fauna to insecticide contamination. This susceptibility endangers these organisms’ well-being and emphasizes the significance of recognizing their ecological responsibilities in the context of sustainable agricultural management.
