Conclusion/DiscussionConclusion/Discussion
Humic substances do not inhibit Humic substances do not inhibit the degradation of 2,4-D by the degradation of 2,4-D by R. R. eutrophiaeutrophia and the soil isolate. and the soil isolate.
Humic Substances may assist the Humic Substances may assist the soil microorganisms in their soil microorganisms in their ability to degrade 2,4-Dability to degrade 2,4-D
Humic Substances do not inhibit Humic Substances do not inhibit the chemotaxtis or motility of the chemotaxtis or motility of the soil isolate.the soil isolate.
