Among 15 soils with different cropping practices, seven which had an history of repeated atrazine applications showed accelerated degradation of this herbicide. By contrast, grassland or agricultural soils with no recorded atrazine application, at least for the last three years, had a low degradatio
Reported levels of atrazine in soils at pesticide mix-load sites can vary between 7ร9 ] 10~5 mM and 1ร9 mM. We report on a mixed microbial culture, capable of degrading concentrations of atrazine in excess of 1ร9 mM. At initial concentrations of 0ร046 M and 0ร23 M, the mixed population degraded 78%
The biodegradation of fenitrothion (an organophosphorus pesticide) in garden soil of western Uttar Pradesh in northern India has been studied. Both natural and autoclaved soil were treated with 10 p.p.m. of fenitrothion at field capacity moisture and incubated for 90 days in glass containers at 25 a
