Abstract:

The urease enzyme activity in different polluted and control soils in Warangal city were analyzed during 2014 -2015. The minimum and maximum urease enzyme levels were 0.15 to 114 µg/g in the near Kumarpally sewage canal, while this range was 0.10 to 1.10 mg/L in the soils amended with dairy industry waste water flooded soil.

Keywords:

Urease, Polluted soil, Warangal, Telangana
