Abstract
Samples were collected from various areas in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra analyzed for ziram degradation. Soil samples and grapes were cultured on minimal media containing 1% ziram fungicide degradation. The isolates were identified and degradation of Ziram at different pH, concentration, temperature, static and non static condition. The HPLC analysis along with spectrophotometry was used to confirm degradation.
