SOIL AERATION AND HYDROLASES<br />
Pulford and Tabatabai (1988) studied the effect of <strong>soil</strong> redox potential on the<br />
activity of eight hydrolases involved in C, N, P and S cycling in <strong>soil</strong>. Hydrolysis of<br />
native <strong>soil</strong> organic P and pyrophosphate added to <strong>soil</strong> are significantly affected by<br />
waterlogging. Mostly decreases in phosphatase activities were found, especially in<br />
acid and alkaline phosphatases and pyrophosphatases. Some <strong>soil</strong>s showed the increase<br />
in phosphodiesterase activity. The activity of arylsulphatase diminished and<br />
the change in activity of β-glucosidase depended on the <strong>soil</strong>. Urease activity decreased<br />
but amidase activities increased after <strong>soil</strong> waterlogging. Flooded rice <strong>soil</strong>s<br />
showed higher urease activity than upland rice <strong>soil</strong>s (Baruah and Mishra, 1984).<br />
Invertase activity was retarded by <strong>soil</strong> flooding (Chendrayan et al., 1980).<br />
Deng and Dick (1990) reported that the response of rhodanese activity (transferase<br />
converting S 2 O 3 2- to SO 3 2- ) to change in water potential depended on <strong>soil</strong>.<br />
Similarly, Ray et al. (1985) showed a 2.5-6-fold increase in rhodanese activity in a<br />
pokkali (acid sulphate) <strong>soil</strong> after flooding but no changes in a flooded alluvial <strong>soil</strong>.<br />
