Abstract:

The effects of fenpropathrin on vegetable soil microbial population was investigated in a microcosm mimicking soil ecosystem. The results showed that the microbial population was slightly inhibited by fenpropathrin at low concentration, but significantly at high concentration. The vegetable soil microorganism could degrade 120 mg/kg fenpropathrin up to 37.71% in 30 d.
