Abstract
Degradation of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) in sandy and humus soil was investigated with radiometric methods. The recommended addition of TCA (12.6 mg/kg soil) was used. After 14 wk incubation at 14-15.degree. C, the residues of TCA were the following: 81% in sandy soil and 27% in human soil. Liming significantly increased the rate of TCA-degradation and the number of TCA-degrading bacteria, especially in sandy soil. Mental fertilizer did not have any effect on TCA degradation.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
