Abstract

AbstractThe effect of chloroxuron on some soil microbial activities, i.e. carbon dioxide evolution, mineralisation of nitrogen, dehydrogenase activity and on microbial colony counts, was assessed by applying different concentrations of the herbicide to soils incubated under laboratory and glasshouse conditions. Experimental results showed no adverse effects on microbial activities in the soils studied when chloroxuron was applied in concentrations up to 100 ppm. Mineralisation of nitrogen and carbon dioxide production were slightly enhanced by the herbicide.
