TY - GEN T1 - Effect of paraquat and glyphosate on activities of urease and phosphatase in sandy loam soil A1 - Ismail Sahid LA - English PB - Malaysian Biochemical Society YR - 2013 UL - http://discoverylib.upm.edu.my/discovery/Record/oai:http:--agris.upm.edu.my:0-5799 AB - A greenhouse study was carried out to investigate the effects of two herbicides viz. paraquat and glyphosate on soil enzymes (urease and phosphatase) activity in sandy loam soil. The concentrations applied were 0, 2.5 and 250 ppm for paraquat, while for glyphosate it was 9.5 and 950 ppm. The assay was carried out until 49 days after treatment. The results showed that both herbicides did not affect the activity of the two enzymes studied. However, grasses added on the soil surface could enhance the enzyme activity than those without grasses KW - TESTAGE KW - BIOLOGIE DU SOL KW - ENZYME KW - PARAQUAT KW - GLYPHOSATE KW - ACTIVITE ENZYMATIQUE KW - SOL SABLEUX KW - SOL SABLOLIMONEUX KW - MALAISIE KW - ENSAYO KW - BIOLOGIA DEL SUELO KW - ENZIMAS KW - PARACUAT KW - GLIFOSATO KW - ACTIVIDAD ENZIMATICA KW - SUELO ARENOSO KW - SUELO FRANCO KW - MALASIA ER -
