- Description
A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the interaction effects of insecticides alone and in combination with fungicides on the sulphur oxidation in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) soils collected from the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The rate of sulphur oxidation was dramatically increased at 2.5 kg ha -1 , whereas increase in the concentration of pesticides at 7.5 to 10 kg ha -1 level drastically decreased the rate of sulphur oxidation. The sulphur oxidation was pronounced more at 14-day of incubation with pesticides alone and in combination in both black and red soils. The oxidation of sulphur was significantly enhanced by the application monocrotophos in combination with mancozeb after 7 and 14-day of incubation in black soil.
