Abstract:
Soil amylase is one of the crucial extra cellular enzymes produced by the soil microbes. It breaks down the starch into dextrin and smaller polymers composed of glucose molecules. Excess use of agrochemicals, affects the activity of this starch hydrolysis in a negative way. Though many researchers have observed the negative impact of pesticides on soil amylase, a brief review article provides a brief idea on soil amylase, its classification, its significance and its correlation with different pesticides.
