“…Excessive use of fertilizers, intensive management and the artificial environment will cause acidification, secondary salination, nutrition enrichment and nutrient unbalance in the soils (Li et al, 1996;Lin et al, 2004;Shen et al, 2008). In addition, the intensive greenhouse agricultural practices those utilize agrochemicals, have created non-point pollution of metals and organics (Kokkinaki et al, 2007). Irrespective of inoculation, values of plant-parasites index (PPI) were greater in greenhouse soils.…”

A pot culture experiment was carried out to study the effects of land use history and inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumberinum Owen (Foc) on soil nematodes communities during the cucumber growing season in 2007. The results showed that land use history and inoculation had significant effects on the abundance and diversity of soil nematodes. Bacterivores were found to be the most dominant group in this study. Irrespective of inoculation, numbers of fungivores, plant-parasites and values of trophic diversity index (TD) and plant-parasites index (PPI) were greater in greenhouse soils (GH) than in open field vegetable soils (OF) during the growth period of cucumber. While, the number of omnivores-predators and values of richness (SR) and maturity index (MI) presented an opposite trend. Foc inoculation had noticeable effects on numbers of plant-parasites and some taxa, such as Helicotylenchus, Epidorlaimus at flowering stage and Aphelenchus, Tobrilus at fruiting stage. Besides, inoculation significantly affected values of PPI at flowering stage and TD at fruiting stage, respectively. The faunal analysis showed that soil food web in GH was highly disturbed and in OF was degraded.

“…Cu toxicity limits for aquatic organisms are in the order of 5 µg/L, and the most bioavailable and toxic form of Cu is the free divalent ion (Cu 2+ ). The adsorbed and organically complexed forms of Cu 2+ do not pose an aquatic problem (Leckie and Davies, 1979;Kokkinaki et al, 2007).…”
