        abstract = {This study investigates the sub-lethal effects of Malathion exposure on Eisenia foetida, a bioindicator organism widely used in ecotoxicological assessments. Parameters analyzed include mortality, body weight, protein content, carbohydrate content, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity across different concentrations (0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%) and durations (7, 14, and 21 days). The results reveal significant physiological and biochemical alterations with increasing Malathion concentration and exposure duration, indicating toxic stress. These findings provide insights into the ecological risk assessment of pesticide contamination in soil ecosystems (Sharma & Satyanarayan, 2012; Rao, 2006).},
