and their metabolites as sources of biogenous
elements and multiply in higher rate.
In the present study, applied herbicides had
carbonaceous and nitrogenous source which were
highly used by microbes to decompose their molecule
and multiplication of microbes. Experiments have
shown that microbes may use herbicide as a source of
nitrogen (Cook and Hutter, 1981) or carbon
(Radosevich et al., 1995) for their growth and
decomposed the applied chemical.
