Sowing and harvesting cereals with legumes is an old crop production practice. The main goal of cultivation to make the best use area increase quality yield crops. intercropping can stimulate biological activity soil, thus increasing recycling soil organic matter. Competition between two or more plants has a positive effect on nitrogen fixation legumes. In form enzyme effective which provided b...

The accumulation of environmental contaminant such as fluoride in wetlands especially rice fields is increasing drastically by the action fertilizers, pesticides, mining, waste disposal, and atmospheric pollution which Kuttanad, unique tropical wetland agro ecosystem not an exception. Accumulation excess F- environment poses serious burden to all organisms. Since soil microbial enzymes respond ...

Presence of heavy metals (HM) in agricultural soil is a major hazard to the soil-plant system. In the present study, soil samples (0-5 cm depth) were taken in order to determine the effects of heavy metal pollution on soil enzymes like dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase (APA), urease (UA) protease, cellulose, invertase, beta glucosidase and amylase. Results showed that Cadmium (Cd) significant...

The use of fungicides in crop protection still effectively eliminates fungal pathogens of plants. However, fungicides may dissipate to various elements of the environment and cause irreversible changes. Considering this problem, the aim of the presented study was to evaluate changes in soil biological activity in response to contamination with azoxystrobin. The study was carried out in the labo...

The purpose of this study was to use magnesium (50 and 100 mg Mg kg-1) to neutralise possible negative effects of soil contamination with cadmium (10, 20, 30 and 40 mg Cd kg-1) on the enzymatic activity
