SummaryThe effect of three herbicides and an insecticide combination on nitrogen fixation in three paddy soils was investigated in a laboratory incubation study. The influence of pesticide combination on N2 fixation was evaluated in the presence and absence of rice straw under flooded and non-flooded conditions. In a non-flooded alluvial soil single or combined application of butachlor and carbofuran significantly stimulated N2 fixation. There was no effect on N2 fixation when thiobencarb was applied alone; but with thiobencarb in combination with carbofuran higher N2 fixation occurred. Both oxadiazone and thiobencarb had no effect on N2 fixation under flooded conditions, but in combination with carbofuran the N2 fixation was high. In acid sulphate saline Pokkali soil, rice straw application stimulated N2 fixation; the stimulatory effect of carbofuran either alone or in combination became more pronounced under flooded conditions. N2 fixation was low in a laterite Sukinda soil and the effect of pesticides was not changed by rice straw amendment. A uniform stimulation of N2 fixation occurred in soils when carbofuran was applied either singly or in combination with other herbicides tested. Results indicate that the effect of pesticides on N2 fixation varied with the rice straw application and water regime.

SUMMARYThe influence of addition of sulphate on acetylene reduction in three paddy soils differing in their properties under two water regimes was investigated in a laboratory experiment. Nitrogenase activity was high in a P-deficient alkaline soil and addition of sulphate further enhanced the activity under two water regimes, with a pronounced stimulation under non-flooded conditions. Sulphate application to submerged alluvial soil enhanced nitrogenase activity with no apparent effect under non-flooded conditions. In acid sulphate saline Pokkali soil sulphate addition had little effect on the nitrogenase activity. Sulphate addition did not result in significant changes in the soil pH and redox potential. No relationship seemed to exist between the sulphate disappearance and stimulation of nitrogenase in these soils. A differential stimulation of N2-fixing microorganisms was noticed as a result of sulphate application. Results suggest that sulphate-induced stimulation of nitrogenase activity occurs in non-flooded soils.

Abstract The article presents results of research of monocultures and association of lactic-oxide bacteria, purple nonsulfur bacteria and yeast on indicators of stimulation of growth processes, nitrogen fixation and phosphate mobilization for 2 crops: one-year and longterm. The research was carried out in both laboratory and production conditions. It is shown that milk-oxide and purple nonsulfur bacteria stimulate growth processes of wheat variety Nador in aquatic culture by 20-30%, and their consortium with yeast - by 30%. In comparison with control, an increase of 3.4 t/ha in the yield of Golden Delishes apples was detected with 2fold treatment based on a consortium of lactic oxide, purple nonsulfur bacteria and sucromycetes. It was determined that all the strains of the above-mentioned groups of microorganisms studied mobilized hard-to-soluble compounds of phosphorus, and only purple nonsulfur bacteria were capable of nitrogen fixation.
