Abstract

The efficacies of cereal straw and conjoint use of cereal straw with microbial consortium (Pseudomonas sp. HY8N with other bacterial isolates) were evaluated in reducing the leaching of chlorpyrifos using soil columns under laboratory conditions. Application of cereal straw @ 5 t ha–1 decreased the leaching of chlorpyrifos by 22 percent whereas the conjoint use of cereal straw @ 5 t ha–1 and microbial consortium was more effective than cereal straw alone and reduced the leaching of chlorpyrifos by 44 percent. The amount of chlorpyrifos residue in the surface soil (0-15) was also reduced by the application of microbial consortium in addition to cereal straw.
