Description THE effect of Carbofuran at 10 and 50 ppm of soil on

transformation of urea nitrogen in a sandy loam (PH

7-7) was studied in laboratory. The insecticide had no

effect on urea hydrolysis but moderately inhibited both

conversion of NH4+ to N02- and N02- to N03-, the

effect being pronounced at the higher rate but lasted

upto 2 weeks only. The results 0'£ the study along

with other evidences suggest that under normal field

application rates, carbofuran may have little effect on

the hydrolysis as well as nitrification of urea nitrogen

in soils with pH in the alkaline range
