The fungal preparation, stored for 45 days, was highly effective in removing malathion as well as the other three OP insecticides. This storage period is recommended for maintaining the preparation in the active state before field application evaluation.
BACKGROUND Microbial degradation of organophosphorus (OP) insecticides has emerged as an efficient and cost-effective technology for removal of pesticide residues from soil. Malathion-tolerant Aspergillus (Aspergillus niger MRU01) was developed, mass cultured, harvested, mixed with coir pith at 3% on dry weight basis, shade-dried aseptically to a 5% moisture level and stored for 60 days. The growth, metabolic activity and insecticide removal efficiencies of the preparation were evaluated at 15-day intervals. RESULTS No significant change in the growth performance was observed up to 45 days of storage, after which viability decreased. The activities of carbohydrate enzymes (cellulase, invertase and amylase) and protein and carbohydrate contents of the preparation, however, did not significantly change during the experimental period. The preparation showed accelerated activities of esterases and phosphatases after treatment with malathion (500 mu mol L-1), parathion (470 mu mol L-1), chlorpyrifos (260 mu mol L-1) and dimethoate (680 mu mol L-1). The highest activity of the esterase and phosphatase enzymes was observed with malathion and the minimum with parathion treatment. Nearly 70% of the applied malathion was removed from the medium by the preparation during 5 days of incubation followed by dimethoate (68%), chlorpyrifos (58%) and parathion (54%). CONCLUSIONS The fungal preparation was highly effective in removing malathion as well as the other three OP insecticides. A storage period of 45 days may be considered ideal for maintaining the preparation in the active state, and is recommended for field application after evaluating its efficacy under field conditions.
