Furthermore, rhizosphere colonization and biofilm formation by P. stutzeri A1501 were repressed by chlorpyrifos, leading to decreased nitrogenase activity in the rhizosphere.  Furthermore, the inhibition of biofilm formation by chlorpyrifos or ROS likely aggravated the reduction in rhizospherere nitrogenase activity.  Furthermore, for sustainable rice production, it is necessary to evaluate whether other pesticides affect nitrogen fixation and select pesticides that do not inhibit nitrogen fixation.
