Abstract

Field experiments conducted during the period of 2003 to 2005 to evaluate the effect of soil disinfection on the soil microbial function. Organic matter decomposition activity after soil disinfection with 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D), chloropicrin (CP) and solarization was evaluated by measuring the cellulose- and glucose-decomposing activities. In 2003, a Haplic Andosol field (HA-soil) was used. Glucose decomposition activity was inhibited immediately after disinfection, and recovered to the level observed in a non-disinfected control soil. In 2004, a Low Humic Andosol (LA-soil) and the HA - soil were used. Although the cellulose decomposition activity (CDA) was suppressed immediately after disinfection, the activity in the HA-soil recovered within 10-12 weeks and the microbial community structure (determined by 16S rDNA-PCR-DGGE) also recovered within 17 weeks after disinfection. Although CDA recovered earlier in the LA-soil than in the HA-soil, it was temporarily suppressed again. In 2005, the effect of soil disinfection on CDA was evaluated using the LA-soil amended and not amended with compost immediately after disinfection. The activity was suppressed by soil disinfection and recovered readily during the growth period, irrespective of compost amendment. The number of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria decreased after disinfection and recovered within 2 to 4weeks in all the treatments in 2003 and 2004. We concluded that the disturbance of organic matter decomposition and nitrification associated with soil disinfection may be temporary and that the soil microbial function recovered significantly during the cropping season.
