Advantages

300 mg·L-1 tricyclazole significantly decreased earthworm biomass

Adding 20-mesh rockwool reduced the effect on earthworm biomass by adsorbing soil TCA

Mg-O groups on rockwool surface combined with C=C in TCA to form Mg-O-C, adsorption dominated by chemisorption

Malondialdehyde and cellulase can serve as biomarkers of combined inhibitory effects
