The indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides disturbs
the soil environment, thereby affecting flora and
fauna including soil microflora, and also the physicochemical
properties of the soil, viz. pH, salinity, alkalinity,
leading to poor soil fertility. With the application
of pesticides, possibilities exist that these chemicals may
exert certain effects on non-target soil microorganisms.
The soil microbial biomass plays an important
role in the soil ecosystem, where they fulfill a crucial
role in nutrient cycling and decomposition. A series of
field experiments were conducted at farmer’s field at
Sitapur, UP with different modules of integrated pest
management (IPM) including use of safe formulations.
The impact of application of these pesticides on the
soil properties including soil microbial populations,
microbial biomass carbon and enzymatic activity was
assessed. It was observed that soil microbial biomass
C content and dehydrogenase activity was influenced
by IPM interventions.
