Chemical plant protection is a dominant practice in agriculture. Therefore, investigating the side effects of pesticides on non-target species is a critical task for ecotoxicologists. Accordingly, the effects of a fungicide Quadris (a.i. azoxystrobin), and an acaricide Flumite 200 (a.i. flufenzin), were investigated separately and as a mixture. Both pesticides are often used in domestic viticulture contemporary. Environmental samplings were carried out before and after the pesticide application and based on OECD standards avoidance tests were implemented on enchytraeid species Enchytraeus albidus. At some concentrations, test animals showed avoidance. However, these concentrations were several orders higher than the recommended application concentrations. Based on these observations, we believe that enchytraeids can sense and avoid the applied pesticides. Therefore, tested pesticides do not have a significant environmental toxicity risk to enchytraeid worms when used according to recommendations.
