Summary

Effects of three herbicides 2,4-D, butachlor and oxyfluorfen on activities of dehydrogenase, urease and carbon dioxide evolution from paddy field soil were measured on weekly intervals. Dehydrogenase activity was significantly stimulated on application of herbicides. The herbicides did not affect the urease activity and the activity remained almost unchanged. The carbon dioxide output was higher in herbicide treated soil.
