The dissertation “Development and Application of a Bioassay Using Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell.) Verdcourt for Ecotoxicological Testing of Pesticides in Aquatic Environments” by Cafer Turgut investigates the suitability of the aquatic plant Myriophyllum aquaticum as a test organism for assessing pesticide contamination in water and sediments. The research focuses on developing a standardized bioassay to evaluate the toxicity of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. Optimal cultivation conditions are determined, while pesticide effects on plant growth are assessed through concentration-response relationships and EC50 values. The study also investigates the uptake and translocation of radiolabeled pesticides within the plant and examines the toxicity of contaminated river sediments. The findings contribute to improved ecotoxicological assessment of pesticides and environmental risks in aquatic ecosystems.
