Biotic-abiotic degradation of two pesticides and their effect on the microbial properties in tropical soils were investigated considering different experimental variables (e.g., application rates, moisture regime, soil conditions, and organic amendment). Experiments were conducted both under controlled laboratory incubation (60% of maximum water holding capacity of soil and waterlogged condition) and actual field conditions (with rice under waterlogged condition). The degradation patterns of pesticides showed a wide variation according to the treatment combinations employed in this study. A...
