Abstract
In modern agriculture system, fungicides, herbicides and insecticides are used in crops to enhance the production. These synthetic chemicals adversely affect soil microorganisms. To assess the adverse effect of a fungicide, Mancozeb and a herbicide, Glyphosphate on Bacteriovores Protozoa present study was conducted. Different concentration of both synthetic agrochemicals were supplemented in medium and the Bacteriovores Protozoa were grown for 5 days, 10 days, 15 days and 20 days. It was observed that the Mancozeb was more inhibitory in comparison to Glyphosphate, however, both agrochemicals adversely affected the abundance of studied Protozoa. At a concentration of 2mg/l Mancozeb, the abundance of Protozoa decreased up to 211 ind/l from 1450 ind/l while in Glyphosphate the abundance decreased up to 1115 ind/l from 1665 ind/l within 20 days.. KEYWORDS :Abundance, Bacteriovores Protozoa, Mancozeb, Glyphosphate
