Studies on the effect of herbicides on nitrification in field and laboratory conditions have shown that steady use of these substances in the same field does not exert a significant effect on this process in the soil. The herbicides caused only shortlasting disturbances. Nitrification usually returned to a relative equilibrium in several days after the herbicide application.
