Abstract
Germination and emergence studies were conducted on Bluebonnet 50 seed rice treated with 3 formulations of aldrin at 2 different rates. Fifty and seventy-five c/c wettable powder formulations at rates of 4 and 8 oz per 100 lb of seed caused little or no detrimental effect on germination and emergence of seedlings. A liquid formulation at both the 4-oz and 8-oz rates caused greater reductions in germination and emergence. Storage for a 3-year period did not cause a measurable increase in the initially recorded phytotoxicity.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
