Effect of Endosulfan on Methane Production from Three Tropical Soils Incubated Under Flooded Condition.

The article presents a study which examines the effect of endosulfan on methane production from three tropical soils incubated under flooded condition in India. Researchers confirmed that intensive rice growing necessitates use of pesticides to protect the crop from pests and thereby achieve higher yields. It has also found out that methane production in flooded laterite and acid sulfate soils was not considerable as compared to that of alluvial soil during 40 d incubation under flooded conditions.
