Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effects of chlorpyrifos-ethyl and malathion on the growth of the lichen Xanthoria parietina and moss Funaria hygrometrica.
Field experiments conducted using both chlorpyrifos-ethyl and malathion on selected lichen and moss species.
Growth measurements taken before and after application to assess impact on species.
Statistical analyses performed to determine significance of the effects.
Chlorpyrifos-ethyl treatment resulted in a 40% reduction in growth of Xanthoria parietina (p<0.01).
Malathion application led to a 30% decline in Funaria hygrometrica growth (p<0.05).
Findings indicate significant effects of both pesticides on lichen and moss species.

Assesses impact of chlorpyrifos-ethyl and malathion on lichen and moss, highlighting environmental implications.
