Abstract:
      Soil microorganisms and enzyme activities are important indicators of soil ecosystem responses to environmental stresses. The impacts of salt and emamectin benzoate-chlorpyrifos mix on soil enzyme activities and microorganism population in a vegetable soil was examined using the orthogonal experimental design and pot culture. Results showed that the activities of soil urease, sucrase, dehydrogenase and catalase were inhibited in varying degrees by salt and emamectin benzoate-chlorpyrifos mix in a dose-effect mode. Similarly, the populations of soil bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes decreased with increasing stresses. As time passed, the pesticide degraded gradually, thus reducing its toxicity and restoring the soil microbes to the control level. However, soil enzyme activities and microorganism quantities were inhibited all the time under co-existence of salt and pesticide. These results suggest that salt stress is the controlling factor of soil enzyme activity and microorganism inhibition by pesticides.
