Abstract

Nitrification, evolution of cabon dioxide, and the total number of bacteria were studied in chernozem and rendzina soils, as affected by different levels of trace elements and phosphate fertilizers. While the nitrifying power was stimulated by all of the used levels of trace elements solution in both soils, evolution of carbon dioxide and bacterial numbers were inhibited. The microbial processes of chernozem were — somewhat — favoured at 4 meq. phosphate fertilizer/100 g. soil, while higher concentrations had a depressing effect. The nitrification rate of rendzina was reduced at all of the used levels of phosphate, while the evolution of carbon dioxide and the bacterial numbers were promoted. By decreasing the moisture content from 80 to 50% W.H.C., the phosphate fertilizer at 15 meq./ 100 g. soil showed a lesser inhibiting effect on the nitrification. Evolved carbon dioxide and bacterial numbers were highest at a moisture of 70 % W.H.C. in the phosphate-treated soils. Alle verwendeten Konzentrationen der Mikronährstofflösungen führten zur Stimulierung der Nitrifikation in den beiden untersuchten Böden. Dagegen hemmten diese Lösungen die CO 2 -Entwicklung und die Gesamtkeimzahl. Die Konzentration von 4 meq. eines Phosphatdüngers/100 g Boden wirkte im Tschernozem fördernd, während höhere Konzentrationen hemmend wirkten. Dagegen nahm in Rendzina die Nitrifikationsrate bei allen Phosphatkonzentrationen ab, während die CO 2 -Entwicklung und die Gesamtkeimzahl erhöht wurden. Mit der Abnahme des Wassergehalts des Bodens von 80 auf 50 % der maximalen Wasserkapazität nahm die hemmende Wirkung von 15 meq. Phosphat/100 g Boden auf die Nitrifikation ab. Bei dem mit Phosphat behandelten Boden wurden die relativ höchsten Werte der CO 2 -Entwicklung und der Gesamtkeimzahl bei einem Wassergehalt von 70 % der maximalen Wasserkapazität erhalten.
