Abstract

A laboratory experiment using soil columns was conducted to study the effect of soil amendments (e.g., farmyard manure, press mud compost, cereal straw, gypsum and fresh cow dung) and their conjoint use with microbial consortium (Bacillus sp. GS20 plus other bacterial isolates) in degradation of a- and b-endosulfan and reducing its leaching to underground water. Among all the five soil amendments used in the study, application of cereal straw and gypsum @ 5 t ha-1 separately decreased the maximum leaching of endosulfan, whereas in conjoint application with microbial consortium, cereal straw @ 5 t ha-1 was more effective in reducing leaching of endosulfan.
