Abstract

This research was conducted to throw light on the effect of some locally handled pesticides application on nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the rhizosphere, the results revealed that Rhizobium bacteria isolated from fenugreek, i.e., R. melolit was the most affected and sensitive species. Data also showed that the pesticide concentration, the type of pesticide, and bacterial species were affecting the rate of the effect. Not all the rates of pesticide application were effective, but in a short time, no harmful effects were observed. Degradation of pesticides produces new products that may induce or inhibit bacterial growth, Bioaccumulation, in a long time may lead to chronic toxicity.
