The influence of Bavistin and Calixin on CO2-evolution and the major nutrient status (NPK) of the soil.
An application of Bavistin (5 mg kilogram of soil) and Calixin (1.5 mg per kilogram of soil) significantly enhanced the microbial activity, as well as availability, of NH(4)(+)-N and P in the soil, while NO(2)(-)-NO(3)(-)-N and available K were found to decrease. During incubation, decreases in CO(2)-evolution were observed initially up to 21 days, with an increase up to 42 days, and, thereafter, a fall in both treatments.
