Abstract
Soybeans were grown in Alabama in 1962 in soils treated with rates of DDT as high as 20 lb./acre and of heptachlor as high as 16 lb./acre. Analyses of the soybeans at harvest showed no DDT was translocated into the soybeans. Although there appeared to be small amounts of heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide in some of the soybeans, none of the apparent contents were significantly different from the untreated check. The apparent values indicated a probable uniform contamination, so it was concluded that there was no translocation of heptachlor or heptachlor epoxide from the soil into the soybeans.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
