Herbicide
application is an effective way to remove weeds and other plants in the field
and to reduce the overwintering base of some field pests to ensure crop
production. Under the background of long-term applications, herbicides also led
to a series of ecological damages. Many researches have confirmed that the
long-term use of herbicides can cause damages to soil ecosystem, the decrease
of soil organisms and the decrease of soil fertility (Li et al. 2007; Wang et al.
2012). The use of pesticides has a great impact on the soil microorganisms. The
types of microorganisms in the soil environment are diverse and bacteria are
the main part of the microbial composition (Zhang et al. 2019). The types and quantities of beneficial microorganisms
in the soil affect the quality of the soil (Moroenyane et al. 2018), while pesticides have a great impact on the bacterial
flora in the soil (Li et al. 2017).
Dimethylpentylene is a dinitroaniline herbicide, which can be applied to a
variety of vegetables and crops (Swarcewicz and Gregorczyk 2012). The problem
of soil quality after the application of dimethylpentylene has been widely
concerned by relevant scholars (Triantafyllidis et al. 2009). It has been confirmed that herbicides have
certain effects on soil organisms by some scholars (Swarcewicz and
Gregorczyk 2012). Babich and Stotzky (1983) showed that soil microorganisms in
the soil ecosystem had its specific response mechanism to pesticide
application. Enzyme activity and microorganism of native soil have been
regarded as an important index of soil quality by many scholars (Trasar-Cepeda et al. 2000; Marx et al. 2001). Soil microorganisms play a key role in pesticide
degradation and biotransformation (Ye et
al. 2018). The change of community structure and function can indirectly
reflect the severity and sustainable development of soil pollutants
(Becerra-Castro et al. 2015). Sorghum
is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. It has a wide range of
uses, and has a usable value in food, industry, environmental protection,
agriculture and other aspects (Lu et al.
2009). Sorghum in China is mainly planted in Inner
Mongolia, Shanxi, Guizhou and other places (Jing et al. 2014), mostly in poor soil. Up to now, the researches on
dimethylpentylene at home and abroad mostly focused on pesticide residues in
soil, while the researches on enzyme activity and microbial diversity in
Sorghum planting soil are less (Chopra et
al. 2015; Jia et al. 2015).
In order to study the effect of
dimethylpentyl on soil enzyme activity and microorganism in the sorghum
planting area, this paper describes the effect of dimethylpentyl on soil enzyme
activity and microorganism by measuring the changes of soil enzyme activity and
microorganism after application of different concentrations of dimethylpentyl.
The purpose of this study was to explore the response law of dimethylpentylene
and provide theoretical basis for the scientific and reasonable use of
dimethylpentylene.
Test soil
treatment
The soil was collected from the uncultivated
farmland in the papaya mining area of Shuozhou city, Shanxi province. The soil
with a depth of 0 ~ 20 cm was collected, where the soil texture was loam. It
was filter with 2 mm sieve, and then put into flowerpots, each of which
contained 3 kg of soil. Dimethylpentyl EC 33% was purchased from Tianjin
Jingjin pesticide factory. The effective content of dimethylpentylene was 0,
200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 g a.i. ha-1 respectively. After
treatment, it was cultured in a 25°C incubator, and the soil water content was
maintained at about 25% by adding sterile water every day. The activities of
various enzymes in the soil were measured. The test was repeated three times in
parallel.
Detection
method of soil enzyme activity
Soil urease activity was determined by phenol
sodium hypochlorite colorimetry with NH3-N (mg g-1 d-1);
invertase activity was determined by 3, 5-Dinitrosalicylic acid colorimetric
method was used to measure the activity of glucose (mg-1 d-1);
alkaline phosphatase was used to measure the activity of sodium phenylphosphate
colorimetric method, and phenol (mg-1 d-1); catalase
activity was used to measure the activity of potassium permanganate titration
method, and KMnO4 (mL g-1 d-1). Polyphenol
oxidase activity was used to measure the activity of pyrogallol (mg-1 d-1)
(Shao 2007). The test was repeated three times in parallel.
Detection
of soil microbial quantity and community diversity
The number of main groups of soil microorganisms
was determined by the dilution coating plate method (Shao 2007). Bacteria were
grown in beef extract peptone medium and fungi in Martins medium. Soil
microbial diversity was determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
(Lisa et al. 2001; Shao 2007). Excel
2007 and SPSS 19.0 were used to analyze the data, and Quantity 4.6.2 was used
to analyze DGGE.
Effect on
invertase activity
The result showed that there were two peaks with
different treatments. In the potted environment, the enzyme activity reached a
peak value of 0.245 g g-1 h-1 at 400 g a.i. ha-1,
and then showed a downward trend, indicating that the inhibition effect was
shown, reaching the second peak value of 0.346 g g-1 h-1 at
1400 g a.i. ha-1. In the field environment, the changing trend was
similar to that of the potted plant, and the peak value was 0.317 g g-1
h-1 under the treatment of 400 g a.i. ha-1. Then the
enzyme activity decreased to 1400 g a.i. ha-1 and increased again to
0.329 g g-1 h-1 (Table 1).
Effect on
urease activity
The effect of dimethylpentylene on urease activity
was different from that of the sucrase activity. With the increase of treatment
concentration, the activity of urease gradually increased, reaching the peak
value at 800 g a.i. ha-1, which was 1.562 g a.i. ha-1,
then gradually decreased to 0.195 g a.i. ha-1at 1400 g A.I./hm2.
The urease activity also showed similar changes in the field environment, and
reached the highest level at 800 g a.i. ha-1, which was
significantly higher than other treatments (Table 2).
Effect on
catalase activity
The change of catalase activity in different
treatments was not significantly different from that of sucrase and urease. It
can be seen from Table 3 that the catalase activity in the treatment of 600 g
a.i. ha-1 in pot and field environment was the lowest and
significantly lower than that in other treatments, and there was no significant
difference among other treatments.
Effect on
polyphenol oxidase
It can be seen from Table 4 that the activity of
PPO is generally low under the treatment of dimethylpentylene, and the
difference is not obvious under different treatments. With the increase of the
concentration of dimethylpentylene, the activity of PPO in the potted
environment gradually increased, reaching the peak value at 600 g a.i.·ha-1,
which is 0.0039 g a.i. ha-1, and then gradually decreases, showing
the inhibition effect, to 1400 g a.i. ha-1Then it picked up to
0.0032 g a.i. ha-1. The PPO activity in the field also showed the
same trend.
Effect on
alkaline phosphatase
The effect of dimethylpentylene on alkaline
phosphatase activity showed that with the concentration of dimethylpentylene
increasing, the enzyme activity first decreased and then increased, then
decreased and finally increased. When the concentration of dimethylpentylene was
400 g a.i. ha-1 to 600 g a.i. ha-1, the enzyme activity
reached 0.034 g a.i. ha-1, the first peak, and then decreased to
1200 g a a.i.·ha-1, the enzyme activity reached 0.078 g a.i. ha-1,
which was the second peak. The trend of change in the field environment is
similar to that in the potted environment (Table 5).

The effect of different concentrations of
dimethylpentylene on the number of soil bacteria is different. As shown in Table 6, under the treatment of 0- g a.i. ha-1, dimethylpentylene has a
certain activation effect on the number of bacteria in potted environment and
field environment, and the activation effect is more significant. Under the
treatment of 600–800 g a.i. ha-1, the
number of bacteria begins to decline, and then increases when it reaches 1000–1400
g a.i. ha-1 Trends. The number of bacteria
in the field was similar to that in the potted plant, and it was activated at 0–400
g a.i. ha-1. The number of bacteria in the
treatment of 600–1400 g a.i. ha-1 was
significantly lower than that in the treatment of 0–400 g a.i.
ha-1. It can be seen that the number of bacteria reached a general
balance at 1000–1400 g a.i. ha-1.
The effect of different concentrations of dimethylpentylene on the number
of soil fungi is shown in Table 7. The number of fungi in the potted
environment decreased to different degrees, all of which were lower than those
in the untreated environment. Except for the number of fungi in the treatment
of 1000 g a.i. ha-1, the number in the other treatments was
significantly lower than that in the untreated environment. The number of fungi
in 200 g a.i. ha-1and 1400 g a.i. ha-1
treatments was significantly lower than that in other treatments, but
there was no significant Table 5: Effect of different concentrations

difference among other treatments. The trend of change and potted environment was different under the field environment. Compared with the untreated environment, different
concentrations of dimethylpentylene had different degrees of activation on the
number of fungi. It can be seen that under the treatment of 400 g a.i. ha-1,
the number of fungi reached a peak value of 16.07 103

Impact on
soil bacterial community diversity
The diversity of the bacterial communities in
different treatments of the potted environment is significantly different (Fig. 1). From Table 8, it can be
seen that the diversity of bacterial community under 8 concentrations treatment
is very different. The similarity of the bacterial community under 1000 g a.i.
ha-1and 1200 g a.i. ha-1 treatment is the highest, 67.4%.
With the increase of the concentration of dimethylpentylene forest, the
diversity of bacterial community and Shannon index also increased (Table 9).
It can be seen from Fig. 2 that the
diversity of soil bacterial community under different concentrations of
dimethylpentylene forest treatment in the field environment is different from that under the
potted environment. The similarity of bacterial community diversity under 400 g
a.i. ha-1 and 600 g a.i. ha-1 treatment is the
highest, which is 68.7%. Shannon index showed a trend of decreasing first and
then increasing (Table 10–11).
Impact on
the diversity of soil fungal community
The diversity of the fungal community was
significantly different under different treatments in the potted environment (Fig. 3). From Table 12, it can be
seen that the diversity of fungal community under 8 concentrations treatment
was very different, and the similarity of 400 g a.i. ha-1 and
untreated fungal community was the highest, 69.4%. With the increase of the concentration
of dimethylpentylene forest, the diversity of fungal community and Shannon
index also increased (Table 13).
From Fig. 4 we can see that the
diversity of the soil fungal community under the treatment of different
concentrations of dimethylpentylene forest in the field environment is
different from that under the potted environment. The similarity of bacterial
community diversity under the treatment of 400 g a.i. ha-1 and 1000
g a.i. ha-1 is the highest, which is 62.5%. Shannon index showed a
trend of decreasing first, then increasing and finally decreasing (Table 14–15).

Soil enzyme is a biologically active protein in
soil, which, together with soil microorganisms, promotes the biochemical
process of soil. Soil enzyme plays an important role in the initial stage of
decomposition of organic residues and the transformation of some inorganic
compounds, and has an important impact on the evolution of soil fertility. When
the activity and quantity of soil microorganism decrease, soil enzyme keeps the
soil metabolism at a relatively stable level (Frostegard et al. 1993), which is a biological index reflecting the soil
quality (Liu et al. 2001; Zhang et al. 2009). Soil enzymes play an
important role in the process of soil material cycle and energy conversion. The
study of soil enzyme activity is helpful to understand the status and evolution
of soil fertility.
Invertase was closely related to the degree of soil ripening. In this study,
different concentrations of dimethylpentylene in pot and field environment
promoted the activity of invertase to a certain extent. After 400 g a.i. ha-1,
the effect of high concentration on invertase activity gradually decreased,
which was close to the untreated soil. Some scholars have shown that there are
dimethylpentylene degrading bacteria (Das et
al. 2012) in the soil, and the microbial community in the soil is
different, so the effect of promoting sucrase activity is also different.
Urease is closely related to the transformation, absorption and utilization of
soil nitrogen. Pot experiment showed that dimethylpentylene could activate
urease activity in the soil.
(Sireesha
et al. 2012) study showed that dimethylpentylene had a certain effect on
urease activity. Field experiments showed that dimethylpentylene can activate
urease activity. The reason may be that the field soil has sufficient light and
high microbial biological activity, and there are kinds of microorganisms
degrading dimethylpentylene in the soil, so the enzyme activity is improved.
Catalase is closely related to the activity of microorganisms, which can reduce
the toxicity of the surrounding environment to microorganisms. In this study,
after the application of dimethylpentylene, the overall effect is to inhibit
catalase activity, but the degree of inhibition is weak. When the dose of
dimethylpentylene is a certain amount, it also shows a certain promoting effect
on catalase. Some scholars have shown that the effect of dimethylpentalin on
catalase is not obvious (Jing et al.
2010), and this study is similar to this study. The activities of PPO in
different concentrations of dimethylpentylene were different, but the overall
performance was to promote the enzyme activity to a certain extent. With the
increase of the concentration of dimethylpentylene, the activities of PPO also
showed a trend of increasing. Sireesha et al. (2012) showed that different concentrations of dimethylpentyl had a certain activation
effect on soil enzyme activity, and the results of this study were also
consistent with this. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was closely related to the
transformation and utilization of soil phosphorus, and the activity of ALP was
different under different concentrations of dimethylpentyl forest. In this
study, the activity of dimethylpentylene increased. Some scholars have
confirmed that dimethylpentylene can promote the activity of alkaline
phosphatase, which is shown by the changes of enzyme activity in potted and
field environment. With the different concentrations of dimethylpentylene, the
change of soil enzyme activity also has a dramatic change (Chopra et al. 2010). Guo Yanmei and other
researchers believe that the impact of dimethylpentylene on soil enzyme
indirectly reflects the degree of its harm to the ecological environment (Guo
2014). In general, the application of dimethylpentylene can affect soil enzyme
activity, thus affecting soil nutrient cycle and metabolism.
Soil microorganism is an important
role in the soil ecosystem, which plays an irreplaceable role in the
adaptation, degradation and transformation of pesticides in soil (Horton and
Bruns 2001; Zhang et al. 2003). Soil
microorganisms are sensitive to subtle changes in the environment and can be
used as sensitive indicators to observe the biological properties of soil
(Artursson et al. 2006; Manickam et al. 2010). Many research results show
that some herbicides can inhibit or kill soil microorganisms, and some can
promote some microorganisms in the soil. It can be seen that different drugs
have different effects on soil microorganisms (Jing et al. 2010). From the perspective of the external environment,
dimethylpentylene is degraded in the soil mainly through microbial metabolism,
hydrolysis, photolysis and other ways (Pinto et al. 2011). The community structure, soil type, soil organic
matter, soil moisture content, soil pH and other factors of soil microorganisms
will affect the degradation of dimethylpentylene (Kulshrestha et al. 2015). In this study,
dimethylpentylene showed a certain activation effect on Soil Micro bacteria and
fungi in potted and the field environment. The effect of dimethylpentylene on
soil microbial number and community diversity varied with the concentration of
dimethylpentylene. Under the influence of different concentrations of
dimethylpentylene forest, bacterial and fungal communities showed different
biodiversity indexes, and showed obvious differences among communities, which
indicated that they were sensitive to the influence of soil microbial community
structure. Shao et al. (2011) studied
the soil microbial community of artificial larch forest after applying
chlorothalonil. The effect of dimethylpentylene on soil bacteria and fungi was
greater than that on actinomycetes. When there are microorganisms that can
degrade dimethylpentylene in the environment, it will increase the number and
proportion of these kinds of microorganisms (Haiier et al. 2011). Some studies have shown that the main degradation of
dimethylpentylene in the environment is bacillus and Azotobacter in some fungi
and bacteria, and dimethylpentylene can be the only carbon source for growth
(Ni et al. 2016). The increase of the
number and proportion of these microorganisms may be one of the reasons why
dimethylpentyl can activate the soil microorganisms. The results showed that
chlorothalonil had certain activation effect on soil microorganisms (Shao et al. 2011), and the results of this
study were similar to this. Some scholars have also shown that a certain
concentration of dimethylpentylene can inhibit the number of soil
microorganisms, which may be related to the soil environment, application days
and application concentration (Yan et al.
2005).
The residues of different pesticides in the soil
after application will have a series of biological effects on the soil
ecological environment. As the main participants of the soil ecological
environment, soil microorganisms also improve a series of pollution caused by
pesticides through their own community adaptation mechanism. From the
perspective of this study, the response mechanism of soil microorganisms to
chemical pesticides remains unresolved, and the role and value of soil
microorganisms in pesticide residue soil need further research and development.
