Study on the impact of Imidacloprid and Dimethoate on soil respiration

The intensive use of pesticides and insecticides has become a regular practice in order to meet the rising food demands fast-expanding human population. Although these chemicals are always used against specific targets (pests/insects etc.) plants animals, they also encounter non-target (harmless/useful) animals thus negatively influence surroundings. In present study, individual combined impact Imidacloprid Dimethoate on soil respiration was studied. results clearly indicate diminishing both carbon dioxide evolution from studied samples.
