title: Effect of herbicides on growth of some microscopic soil fungus species.
abstract: The effect of 14 herbicides and two herbicide combinations of three microscopic soil fungus species was investigated by Miller's method. (i) None of the 14 herbicides and 2 combinations belonging to four derivative groups induced the growth of Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizopus nigricans; (ii) Higher doses of the herbicides prevented the growth of all test organisms significantly, the triasin derivative Hungazin PK being the less and tiocarbamate derivatives Alirox B 80 EC, Anelda Plus 80 EC and Anelda III being the most inhibitory. (iii) The sensitivity of test organisms against the examined herbicides decreased in the order of Fusarium, Rhizopus, Aspergillus.
