Effect of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane on oxygen uptake and populations of soil microorganisms
1977
ELLIOTT, A. P. | DONAWA, A.
Applying three concentrations of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) to a sandy clay loam soil increased the total oxygen consumed by microorganisms in the soil after 4 h. DBCP had no significant effect on the rate of oxygen uptake, the total oxygen consumption, and the number of bacterial colonies one week after treatment. After four weeks, however, the rate of oxygen uptake, the total oxygen consumed, and the number of bacterial colonies were higher (P = 0.05) in treated soil.
