Summary
Application of 0,5% sodium azide can’t be considered safe for higher plants although soil microbiocenoses are not inhibited. Moreover one can note the stimulation of different microorganisms: bacteria-ammonificaters, micromycets, algae and cyanobacteria. Phytotoxic effects of sodium azide can be prevented by additional application of cyanobacterial inoculate to soil. The preliminary treatment of soil before sowing of seeds is an other approach to prevent the stress action of sodium azide on higher plants.
