The tap and lateral roots of garden pea seedlings (cv. Taichung 11)could be significantly injured and inhibited by butachlor [2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(butoxymethyl)-acetanilide] in the soil. Using gardenpea seedlings to bioassay the toxicity of butachlor, the discolorationpercentage of their tap roots was 13.73, 84.31 or 100 when the seedswere respectively sown in soils pre-treated with 10, 50, or 100ppm ofbutachlor for one month. Amendment of soil with 5%(w/w) spent goldenmushroom compost(SGMC) was able to significantly promote the growthand prevent roots of garden pea seedlings from injury incited bybutachlor. Amendent of Tali or Chihu soils with either Tsaohu orWufeng SGMC was effective in gradually promoting the growth ofseedlings with increasing of SGMC concentrations from 1 to 5%(w/w).The effectiveness of Tsaohu SGMC was better than Wufeng SGMC. The sameeffect occured in Tali and Chihu soils containing 50ppm butachlorafter amendment of soil with Tsaochu or Wufeng SGMC. The SGMC was ableto stimulate proliferation of microbial populations, especially Mucorspp., Penicillium spp., Trichoderma spp., Streptomyces spp., andBacillus spp. in soil with or without butachlor. Determining microbialactivity in soil containing 0-5%(w/w) SGMC or 0-1000ppm butachlor byspectrophotometric determination of the hydrolysis of fluoresceindiacetate( FDA). Hydrolysis was found to increase with increasing thedoses of butachlor, excepted for 1000ppm, and concentrations of SGMC.Amendment of infested or disinfested soil containing 50ppm butachlorwith non-sterilized SGMC could reduce 22% or more injury severity oftap roots of garden pea compared to amendment with sterilized SGMC.Amendment of soil with F-101 microbial compost, sterilized SGMCcolonized by Mucor sp.(F-101) for 7 days at 28 ℃, was the sameeffective in alleviating root injury of garden pea seedlings bybutachlor as amendment with non-sterilized SGMC. Among manypredominant microorganisms, Mucor sp.( F-101), Trichodermahamatum(F-104), T. aureoviride(F-108), T. koningii(F-115), Penicilliumverrucosum Dierckx, var. cyclopium(F-116), Streptomyces sp.(A-107),Streptomyces sp.( A-112), and Bacillus brevis(B-109) were able todegrade butachlor in amended soil, potato dextrose broth(PDB), ornutrient broth(NB). Especially, Mucor sp.(F-101), Trichodermahamatum(F-104), Trichoderma aureoviride( F-108), Trichodermakoningii(F-115) and Penicillium verrucosum var. cyclopium(F-116) werebetter than others in ability to degrade butachlor. It was found thatthe residue of butachlor markedly decreased with increment of sporeconcentration when spore suspensions(0~5 × 10^8cfu/ml) of Mucorsp.(F-101) were inoculated into sterilized soil and PDB containing50ppm butachlor and incubated for 7 days.
