Abstract

In this study an attempt has been made to study the effect of endosulfan, which has half life of 50 days. Certain microorganisms in soil like Azospirillum, which is an associative nitrogen fixer, also secrete Indole Acetic Acid. Like wise Azotobactor secrete Gibberellic acid. Both these are essential plant growth regulators. These substances play importance role in mineral binding to plant from soil and in seed germination. However it has been observed that residual endosulfan at a very low concentration of 50 ppm, is enough to inhibit the generation of these important chemicals.
