Residual effect of pre-emergence herbicides on microbial activities in relation to mineralization of C, N and P in the Gangetic alluvial soil of West Bengal, India

Abstract: An experiment has been conducted under laboratory conditions to investigate the residual effect of three pre-emergence herbicides (thiobencarb, pendimethalin and pretilachlor) at fivefold field application rates (7.5, 10.0 and 2.5 kg a.i. ha(-1), respectively), on the changes of microbial activities and some biochemical processes in the Gangetic alluvial soil of West Bengal. Application of herbicides in general significantly increased microbial biomass resulting in greater mineralization of C, N and P in soil.… Show more

“…The application of the herbicides from the thiocarbamate, dinitroaniline, and chloroacetamide families increased microbial biomass, measured by the chloroform fumigation method, probably due to direct degradation or via co-metabolic processes. This increased the availability of mineral carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous to the soil and resulted in higher mineralization of these herbicides (Barman and Das, 2015). Chloroacetamide herbicides can be transformed by microbial metabolism in natural soils to 4,2-methyl-6-ethylaniline, and this intermediate can be used as a sole nutrient source for a Sphingobium strain.…”
