Effect of organic amendments on microbial biomass of a tropical soil treated with some herbicides

Studies were carried out on the impact of organic amendments on microflora of soils treated with 2,4- dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid, atrazine, atrazine + metolachlor and paraquat herbicides applied at one and half doses of the recommended rates. Poultry manure-0.05%, urea-0.1 M and glucose–0.1 M of herbicide-treated soils resulted in significant (
