Abstract

FUNGICIDEs are most widely used pesticides in Iran and the world. Application of FUNGICIDEs may affect the populations and activity of soil microorganisms, particularly fungi, with a consequence for soil fertility and crop growth. In the current study, the effects of different levels of metalaxyl on soil microbial biomass carbon (C) and NITROGEN (N), microbial biomass C/N ratio and METABOLIC QUOTIENT under field conditions were assessed. Two levels of metalaxyl (30 and 60 kg.ha-1) were applied in planted soils with corn and unplanted calcareous soils, using a split-plots experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications. The C and N contents in soil microbial biomass as well as METABOLIC QUOTIENT were measured at 30 and 90 days after the onset of the experiment. Results showed that in cultivated soils metalaxyl application at 30 kg.ha-1 increased (15-80%) significantly (p≤0.01) the amounts of microbial biomass C and N at both intervals (except microbial biomass C at 90 days) compared to the control soil (0 kg.ha-1), while in uncultivated soils both microbial biomass C and N reduced by almost 1-34%. Microbial biomass C/N ratios in unplanted soils decreased (15 and 53%) with increasing loading rates of metalaxyl, without a clear effect in cultivated soils. On the other hand, METABOLIC QUOTIENT values reduced (48%) at 30 and 60 kg.ha-1 metalaxyl in corn-cultivated soils when compared to untreated soils while in uncultivated soils metalaxyl rate at 30 kg.a-1 had the greatest values at 30 days, and increased with increasing the levels of metalaxyl at 90 days. In summary, application of metalaxyl can either reduce or increase soil biological indices, and the direction and changes are depended upon the application rate of metalaxyl, time elapsed since metalaxyl application and the presence or absence of plant.
