| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of difenoconazole (DFC)
on the activity of a few enzymes commonly found on soil: dehydrogenase,
urease, phosphatase and protease. Three experimental variants were
established: in field conditions with variable temperature (10-21 °C,
variants A1-A3), under laboratory conditions with constant temperature (30
°C, variants B1-B3) and untreated soil (C variant). The commercial product
"Score 250EC" with 250 g DFC L-1 was used at the following concentrations:
0.037 mg DFC g-1 soil (variants A1 and B1), 0.075 mg DFC g-1 soil (variants
A2 and B2) and 0.150 mg DFC g-1 soil (variants A3 and B3). The dehydrogenase,
phosphatase and urease activities decreased significantly (p<0.05) both under
filed (variants A1-A3) and laboratory (variants B1-B3) conditions compared to
untreated soil (variant C). The protease activity was reduced in variants
A1-A3 compared to variant C and increased at the dose of 0.150 mg DFC g-1
soil in the variant B3. |
