Pesticides jiggling microbial transformation of phosphorus in soil

Abstract: A laboratory based pot culture experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of pesticides [endosulfan, dithan-M-45 and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D)] at their recommended doses on the changes in microbial biomass carbon; potentiality and proliferation of phosphorus solubilizing organisms; acid and alkaline phosphatase activities; total and available phosphorus in soil. The results of the investigation reveal that though each of the pesticides exerted deleterious effect on phosphorus solubilizin… Show more

“…This pesticide increased total carbon microbial biomass, growth and activity of phosphate mobilizing microorganisms, expressed in the increase of mobile phosphorus in the soil [18]. However, cross-reactions blocked in plants by herbicides, inherent for bacteria too, but they are capable to alternative ways of these processes.…”
