1. Nitrate Pollution
Application of N2 fertilizers such as urea and ammonium sulphate to soils
produces acid by two processes. Firstly, the natural process of oxidation of
ammonia ions to nitrate ions release acid. Part of acid produced is neutralized by
alkaline ions released by plants during the subsequent uptake of the nitrate ions.
Secondly, since nitrate ions are not strongly absorbed by the soil they are liable
to leach or move down through the soil. The negatively charged nitrate ions
carry positively charged basic cations such as Ca, K, Mg and Na in order to
maintain the electric charge on the soil particles.

3. Eutrophication of Water
It is the process of enrichment of surface water bodies like lakes, reserviors and
dreams with nutrients. Nutrient enrichment of water bodies results in intense
proliferation and accumulation of algae and higher aquatic platns in excessive
quantities which can result in detrimental changes in water quality and can
significantly interfere with the use of water resources.
The excessive accumulation of dissolve nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen,
silicon and other element in water leads to an excess production of algal
biomass. This requires a corresponding increased supply of oxygen for
decomposition of organic materials when the algae and their remnants sink to
bottom, reduced O2 content and eventually anaerobic condition may prevail. This
is syptomatic a severe eutrophication and may leads to a serious loss of marine
life, blockage and aquatic passages and a major reduction in real estate value of
the affected areas. The normal N:P ratio in water is around 20:1. Algal growth
increase when this ratio drops to around 7:1 (Asmed, 1993).

4. Insecticide Pollution
The presence of residues of insecticide in food commodities and other
component of the environment is a matter of serious concern. Even small
quantities of the residues ingested daily along with food can build up to high
levels in body fat (Dhaliwal and Singh, 1993). There is therefore a constant fear
that society is being slowly poisoned by the intake of food contaminated with
pesticide residues.
During the 1900's, there was little information available on he bad impose of
pesticide on soil and water quality. Organochlorine insecticides such as chlorine,
dieldrin, DDT and heptachlor were widely used in agriculture to control
insect/pests in different countries like Nepal. Since 1960's, the organochlorine
use was progressively restricted and finally banded now. Nevertheless, their
residues still found in soil and continue to cause problems of food and food
contamination. The metabolite of DDT still occur in the top 150 mm of the soil
profile Centerbury region in Switzerland (Bould, 1994).

FUNGSI TIAP MIKROBA
1. Bacteria
- decomposers, terutama berperan dalam daur
ulang N,P and S
2. Actinomycetes
- Dekomposer senyawa yg lebih kompleks, untuk
membentuk humus
3. Fungi/Jamur
- Decomposers, menghancurkan lignin
- Membantu menyerap hara (mycorrhiza)
4. Protozoa and Nematodes
- memakan tubuh (yg mati) bacteria and jamur dan
melepaskan hara (N)
- Aktivitas protozoa mempercepat dekomposisi
FAKTOR YG MEMPENGARUHI POPULASI MIKROBA
1. Kelembaban
- Microorganisms perlu air untuk hidup
2. Oxygen/aerasi
- Bacteria ada yang aerobic maupun anaerobic
- Jamur, protozoa and nematodes aerobic
3. Temperature
- Sangat mudah menyesuaikan
- Aktivitas makin cepat jika suhu naik hingga 500C
4. pH media / tanah
- Bacteria sangat sensitive thd pH (tdk tahan pH rendah)
- Jamur hidup optimal pada pH rendah
5. Bahan Organik sebagai sumber energi
- BO sumber C and nutrisi
- Penambahan BO segar memacu perumbuhan mikroba
