Abstract: Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of cropping season, nitrogen fertilizer input and aerated fallow on the dynamics of phenol degradihg-iron reducing bacteria （PD-IRB） in tropical irrigated rice （Oryza sativa L.） systems. The PD-IRB population density was monitored at different stages of rice growth in two cropping seasons （dry and early wet） in a continuous annual triple rice cropping system under irrigated condition. In this system, the high nitrogen input （195 and 135 kg N ha-1 in dry and wet seasons, respectively） plots and control plots receiving no N fertilizer were compared to investigate the effect of nitrogen rate on population size. The phenol degrading-iron reducing bacteria （PD-IRB） were abundant in soils under cropping systems of tropical irrigated rice. However, density of the bacterial populations varied with rice growth stages. Cropping seasons, rhizosphere, and aerated fallow could affect the dynamics of PD-IRB. In the field trial, viable counts of PD-IRB in the topsoil layer （15 cm） ranged between 102 and 108 cells per gram of dry soil, A steep increase in viable counts during the second half of the cropping season suggested that the population density of PD-IRB increased at advanced crop-growth stages. Population growth of PD-IRB was accelerated during the dry season compared to the wet season. In the greenhouse experiment, the adjacent aerated fallow revealed 1-2 orders of magnitude higher in most probable number （MPN） of PD-IRB than the wet fallow treated plots. As a prominent group Of Fe reducing bacteria, PD-IRB predominated in the rhizosphere of rice, since maximum MPN of PD-IRB （2.62×108 g-1 soil） was found in rhizosphere soil. Mineral N fertilizer rates showed no significant effect on PD-IRB population density.
