Herbicides and Their Role in the Environment
Herbicides, Biotic, Biomass, microbes
Extensive use of herbicides may directly affect the population of soil microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, actinomycetes, and earthworms that have a vital role in maintaining the soil productivity. As soil microbial biomass is considered an active nutrient pool to plants, use of herbicides may negatively affect the health of the soil. In addition, algae represent the basal component of aquatic food webs, since they are consumed by a variety of invertebrates or directly by fish, both of which are consumed by other fish species. Microalgae are also quite sensitive to herbicides because they share many characteristics with higher plants. Many scientific reports clearly says that there is no universal pattern of herbicidal effect on biotic (Micro) components of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem because of temperature, pH, rainfall and overall climatic conditions of the area. Persistence, mode of degradation and microbes involved in degradation is also governed by various factors.
