Effect of two organophosphorus insecticides on the phosphate-dissolving soil bacteria.
Dimethoate and malathion added to soil at 10 and 100 microgram/g caused an initial stimulation of CO2 production. Total counts of bacterial propagules were increased. All insecticide applications increased bacteria producing  phospholipases from week 1 until week 4 after the application; bacteria then returned to the original levels.
