| Abstract/Contents: | "Pesticides should be used in such a way that their residues do not build-up in the environment and that they have minimal effect on non-target organisms. There is a continuing need to evaluate the factors influencing pesticide dissipation rates from soil, and their potential to affect soil ecological characteristics in different situations. The effects of pesticides on soil microbial ecology have attracted particular attention over the years (Beare et al., 1992), since the structure and function of the soil microbial community have been correlated with general soil health. Soil microbial characteristics also influence rates of pesticide dissipation, and the ideal compound would persist long enough to give adequate pest, disease or weed control and then degrade to inert products. Most studies of the environmental fate and ecotoxicology of pesticides are done with a single application of the study compound, but in practice, particularly in tropical countries, pesticides may be applied repeatedly to the same crop. The objectives of the present experiments were to study the effects on degradation rates of repeated application of a number of soil-applied pesticides, and to investigate the effects of the selected pesticides on soil microbial community function. The compounds studied were a representative insecticide, nematicide, fungicide, and herbicide (chlorpyrifos, fenamiphos, chlorothalonil, and pendimethalin, respectively), all of which are used extensively world-wide." |
