Experiments were conducted both under controlled laboratory incubation (60% of maximum water holding capacity of soil and waterlogged condition) and actual field conditions (with rice under waterlogged condition). The degradation patterns of pesticides showed a wide variation according to the treatment combinations employed in this study. A short-lived and transitory toxic effect on the soil microbial parameters was discernible during laboratory incubation at the 60% of maximum water holding capacity of both the soils. However, under waterlogged condition microbial properties showed continued declining trends for all the treatments including the control. In the field, the microbial properties declined till the field was waterlogged. Interestingly, after crop harvest, when the experimental plots became aerobic, the all the microbial parameters increased remarkably irrespective of the treatment combinations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raktim Pal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639046862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639046861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Raktim Pal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058416972031,"sku":"9783639046861","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48d91093-d260-48d9-b1f1-cf0d2e9c0c6d.jpg?v=1685052443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/effect-of-pesticide-on-soil-raktim-pal-9783639046861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
