摘要: Nanosized agrochemicals like nanofertilizers are being applied to soils. Adverse impacts of nanofertilizers on soil microflora were reported in past studies, but only considering a single application. Repeated applications are however more likely to occur in agriculture. We investigated effects of single versus repeated applications of a copper hydroxide nanofertilizer formulation (NFF) on soil enzyme activity and bacterial community. One or three applications were performed within 21 days to achieve same final level of Cu in soil (48 mg(Cu)/kg: the recommended dose of NFF). Besides, the active ingredient (i.e., copper hydroxide nanotubes (NT)) and dispersing agent (DA) of NFF, and an ionic fertilizer (i.e., CuSO4) were examined. Fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDAse), N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), and urease (URE) showed negligible changes in the activities between the control and DA treatment. Bacterial community abundance, composition and diversity exhibited similar phenomena. Exposures to copper hydroxide NFF and NT or CuSO4 enhanced the activities of FDAse and NAG, weakened the activity of URE, and showed negligible changes in the LAP activity irrespective of single and repeated applications. Concentrations of NO3--N and NH4+-N in soil were also affected by the application mode of NFF. More importantly, responses of soil bacterial community to copper hydroxide NFF were highly dependent on its application mode, whereas similar responses were observed in the CuSO4 treatment regardless of single or repeated applications. This study provided new insights into environmental risk of copper hydroxide NFF that were ignored in previous studies using a single exposure. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
