Bacterial diversity and enzymatic activity in a soil recently treated with tebuconazole

Tebuconazole is one of the most commonly used active substances from the group of triazoles, that exhibits high efficacy in plant protection against fungal diseases. It’s too frequent use may, however, pose risk to soil ecosystems, leading to changes in their biological diversity. This study was aim...

Bacterial diversity and enzymatic activity in a soil recently treated with tebuconazole
description Tebuconazole is one of the most commonly used active substances from the group of triazoles, that exhibits high efficacy in plant protection against fungal diseases. It’s too frequent use may, however, pose risk to soil ecosystems, leading to changes in their biological diversity.
