Abstract

The effect of three herbicides (Linuron, Diuron, and Atrazine) and three vinyl phosphate insecticides (Crotoxyphos, Phosphamidon, and Dichlorvos) on phytase was examined. All the insecticides and Atrazine were competitive inhibitors, with Linuron and Diuron being mixed inhibitors. Some implications of phytase inhibition on inorganic P availability in soil are discussed.
