Insecticides−Soil Microbiota Interactions [electronic resource] /
Maddela, Naga Raju.author.
Venkateswarlu, Kadiyala.author.
This book provides information about the nontarget nature of selected soil enzymes which are implicated in soil fertility and health and the methods for their assay. It also shows how these soil enzymes are affected by two different pesticides, buprofezin and acephate, used both extensively and intensively in modern agriculture. .
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
