Evaluation of Compost and Biochar to Mitigate Chlorpyrifos Pollution in Soil and Their Effect on Soil Enzyme Dynamics

The widespread environmental contamination of chlorpyrifos (CP) has raised human health concerns and necessitated cost-effective methods for its remediation. current study evaluated the degradation behavior CP in compost biochar amended unamended (original sterilized) soils an incubation trial. Two levels (100 200 mg kg?1), (0.50%) were applied, soil was collected at different time intervals. At higher level (200 a showed lower rate (? = 0.0102 kg?1 d?1) compared with low 0.0173 d?1). half-lives 40 68 days 100 original soil, respectively, increased to 94 141 sterilized soils. accelerated soils, while suppressed Lower half lives 20 37 observed application doses, respectively. activities enzymes considerably affected by significantly recovered In conclusion, organic amendments especially is important strategy remediation contaminated soil.
