• Agronomic Efficiency of Animal-Derived Organic Fertilizers and Their Effects on Biology and Fertility of Soil: A Review (2021, background): “According to Das and Varma [187], ß-glucosidase, dehydrogenase, phosphatase, urease and invertase are the major enzymes that are generally found abundant in agricultural soils.”
• The biological activities of β-glucosidase, phosphatase and urease as soil quality indicators: a review (2017, background): “The urease enzyme acts by aiding the hydrolysis of urea into CO2 and NH3, which leads to a rise in soil pH and nitrogen loss to the atmosphere through NH3 volatilization (Das and Varma, 2010).”
• Effects of conventional tillage and no tillage permutations on extracellular soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass under rice cultivation (2014, background): “It is suggested that proteases including GAP might be playing crucial role in maintaining soil health (Das and Varma, 2011).”
