heptachlor gave good control of Scuti- 

 gerella immaculata in some field tests, not 

 in others. Where not successful, rapid 

 decline in soil of all three compounds.) 



Lichtenstein, E. P., 1959, PP» 3 x -3 2< (U.S., 

 factors affecting termite resistance: soil 

 types; application rate; presence or lack of 

 cultivation; soil temperature, soil mois- 

 ture; soil microorganisms affect persist- 

 ence of insecticide; persist longer: in 

 soils high organic content, high applica- 

 tion rate, noncultivated, low temperature, 

 dry soil, sterilized soils.) 

 1959a, pp. 40, 42, 56. (U.S., factors affect- 

 ing insecticide persistence in various soils: 

 soil type, soil temperature, moisture, mi- 

 croorganisms, chemical application rate, 

 chemical conversion in soil.) 



Lichtenstein, E. P., Beck, S. D., and Schulz, 

 K. R., 1956, p. 936. (U.S., colorimetric 

 determination of lindane in soils and 

 crops.) 



Lichtenstein, E. P., De Pew, L. J., Eshbaugh, 

 E. L., and Sleesman, J. P., i960, pp. 136- 

 142. (Midwestern U.S., amount organic 

 matter within a particular soil type and 

 climatic conditions of area major factors 

 affecting persistence of DDT, aldrin, and 

 lindane in soils, DDT most persistent, 

 lindane least, all disappeared most rapidly 

 in Kansas experiment soils.) 



Lichtenstein, E. P., and Medler, J. T., 1958, 

 pp. 222-226. (U.S., Wisconsin, alfalfa 

 treated with heptachlor and aldrin at 

 rates % to Vs lb. per acre, 7 days after 

 treatment both were recovered at rate of 

 0.1 part per million by chemical analysis. 

 2 weeks after treatment no heptachlor 

 found, 3 weeks after treatment no aldrin 

 found.) 



Lichtenstein, E. P., and Polivka, J. B., 1959, 

 pp. 289-293. (U.S., top dressings (turf 

 soils), 15% of applied chlordane recov- 

 ered after 12 years by chemical analysis, 

 12% by bioassay. 11 years after applica- 

 tion, 41% BHC of applied dosage recov- 

 ered by chemical analysis, 8% by bioassay. 

 After 9 years no heptachlor recovered by 

 analysis, but 4 to 5% by bioassay. Most 

 aldrin had disappeared during 4 years, 

 part converted to dieldrin to extent 8 to 

 10% of applied dosage.) 



Lichtenstein, E. P., and Schulz, K. R., 1958, 

 pp. 848-849. (U.S., colorimetric deter- 

 mination of heptachlor in soils and 

 crops.) 

 x 959> PP- 1 18-124. (U.S., lindane broke 

 down, within 2 weeks, to nontoxic com- 



pound, aldrin converted to dieldrin, more 

 dieldrin formed in a sandy loam soil and 

 in soils treated at lower concentrations 

 and at higher temperatures.) 

 1959a, pp. 124-131. (U.S., 3V2 years after 

 treatment 1.43 times more DDT, 4.25 

 times more aldrin, and 8.45 times more 

 lindane were recovered from a muck soil 

 than from Miami silt loam. Temperature 

 important factor. No loss in frozen soil. 

 Loss 16 to 27% at 6° C. of aldrin and 

 heptachlor, only 2 to 14% persisted at 

 46 C. after 56 days.) 

 i960, pp. 192-197. (U.S., aldrin readily 

 transformed into dieldrin in wet, non- 

 autoclaved Carrington loam, less rapidly 

 in muck soil; amounts aldrin and diel- 

 drin recovered equal 16 months after 

 treatment in field. In soils containing 

 low number microorganisms (autoclaved 

 loam, Plainfield sand), or in dry soils 

 amount dieldrin found small. Heptachlor 

 applied to Carrington loam persisted 

 longer than aldrin, but amount of hepta- 

 chlorepoxide formed smaller than that of 

 dieldrin. Lindane most persistent in dry 

 soil and least in wet, nonautoclaved soil.) 



Lund, H. O., i960, pp. 32, 44, 36. (U.S., 

 Georgia, tests show termites will tunnel 

 up through foundation voids. When 

 treated with dieldrin, aldrin, and chlor- 

 dane emulsions, tunnels were only built 

 over 0.002% of chlordane after 7 weeks, 

 over the lowest concentrations of aldrin 

 or dieldrin or 0.02% chlordane after 9 

 months.)

 P. B., 1959, pp. 30-32. (U.S., determina- 

 tion chlordane in air of habitations 

 treated for insect control.)

 soil poisons.)
