Dear NewsGroup members,
Upon reviewing the literature, the use of nitrogen (as fertilizer e.g.
ammonium sulfate) may reduce the degradation of pesticides in soil (For
example : atrazine and 2,4-D ; despite that the last one doesn't
contain N source).
Do you think that nitrogen can have a side effect on enzyme activity ? or
only it induces or provokes a selectivity inside the microbial population
? how it can affect the activity of bacteria or fungi ?
In case of the first hypothesis, in what way nitrogen can effect or
suppress the activity of the enzyme ?
all suggestions and comments are well appreciated
Any related references would also be appreciated.
Please to mail directly to : hayar at ensaia.u-nancy.fr
I promise to make a synthesis of replies for the group.
Thank you very much
