Abstract:

The proposal is submitted in response to a verbal request from the U.S. Army medical research development command. The proposed program is a continuation of the work begun under contract DAMD-17-75-C-5069. A portion of the proposed effort is uninterrupted continuation studies of experiments currently underway E.G, plant growth dimp lysimeter type the remaining portion is work to be initiated E.G., Dcpd Lysimtere studies. Currently a select group of plants are being exposed to dimp dcpd in a soil culture system to determine their effective levels as to phytotoxicity bioaccumulation in this growth medium. Completion of this task, as well as the utilization of seeds from this task in currently underway, to be continued, relates to the manner in which the contaminant compounds migrate through soil.
