Effects of six pesticides on the growth of Chlorella vulgaris

Effects of six different pesticides on the growth of Chlorella vulgaris were investigated in this paper. The results showed that when the chlorella were cultured in the media with carbendazim, procymidone, thiram, tebuconazole, prochloraz and fludioxonil repectively, lower concentrations(<;1mg/L) promoted the growth of cells, higher concentrations inhibited cells growth, and the inhibition effect increased with the increase of concentrations. Tebuconazole had the most strongest inhibiting effect at 1mg/L,and procymidone had the best effect at 10mg/L of concentration.
