Abstract
The effect of a commercial granular formulation of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) on nitrification in a flooded soil was studied at 10 and 100 ppm a.i. The oxidation of the added ammonium to nitrate was inhibited significantly at 10 ppm and almost completely at 100 ppm, concomitant with a proportional decrease in the, populations of ammonium- and nitrite-oxidising autotrophic bacteria. Of special interest is the synergistic increase in the inhibition of nitrification by a combined application of HCH and carbofuran.
