TL;DR: It was found that Urease was most resistant and dehydrogenases were least resistant to soil contamination with a mixture of diflufenican + mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfur-methyl-sodium, which had an adverse influence on spring wheat yield and led to eventual death of plants.

TL;DR: The research objective has been to evaluate the effect of a mixture of three active ingredients of the herbicide Lumax 537.5 SE: terbuthylazine (T), mesotrione (M), and S-metolachlor (S) on counts of soil microorganisms, structure of microbial communities, activity of soil enzymes as well as the growth and development of maize.

TL;DR: Next-generation herbicides are relatively safe when used properly, but the recommended rates are relatively low, which can lead to overdosing, in soil-dwelling microorganisms and soil enzymes to contamination with the Boreal 58 WG herbicide.

TL;DR: A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, with the aim of describing the influence of metazachlor on counts and biodiversity of soil microorganisms, soil enzymatic activity, physicochemical properties of soil and yield of spring oilseed rape.

TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of soil enzymes to soil contamination with zinc was analyzed, and the results indicated that soil enzymes are characterized by varied sensitivity to excessive zinc concentrations, and that the RS index is a reliable measure of enzymatic responses to zinc pollution.
