In addition to these grasses, white clover grew normally. In field 
test6 at five localities there was no indication that the application of 
chlordane at the rate of 10 pounds per acre had any adverse effect on the 
various grasses and clover. — Fleming ( ^39 )« 
In tests in Florida in 19*+7 and 19*48, 5-percent chlordane dust and 
50-percent chlordane wettable powder at 2 pound s per 100 gallons of 
water reduced the yields of cucurbits; in one case the dust reduced the 
yield of cucumbers below that of the check plot. — Kelsheimer ( 255 ; . 
Chlordane should not be used on cucurbits. — Schread (40^). 
In experiments at Geneva, New York, a dust containing 5-percent of 
chlordane produced characteristic symptoms of foliage injury on Blue 
Hubbard, Table Queen, and Butternut squash, representing the plant 
species Cucurbit a maxima, C. p epo . and C± qpschata . The injury was later 
outgrown and did not appear to affect the yield. — Carruth and Howe (66). 
In Florida chlordane gave good control of insect pests of cucumber 
and squash without reducing yields in several tests, but in the fall of 
19*+7, a wet season, it severely reduced the yield,— -Kelsheimer ( 25*4 ) . 
In tests on curcubits in Oregon 5-percent chlordane dust, under 
moist conditions, caused slight burn on 2 varieties and chlorosis on 11 
varieties. — Crowell and Morrison (90) » 
Peaches sprayed with nothing except chlordane developed foliage 
injury in June similar to what has been called Bacterium pruni. — 
Marshall (315). 
Chlordane spray gave little if any protection against peach scab in 
West Virginia, but did not injure the fruit or f oliage.-- Gould and 
Taylor (182.) . 
Chlordane 50-percent wettable powder at 2 pounds per 100 gallons of 
water was sprayed on peaches in North Carolina in 19*48. Fruit from the 
chlordane plot was by far the best in two tests, but in another test it 
was even significantly worse than fruit which had received four applica- 
tions of benzene hexachloride. — Smith ^t_ al. ( 4 20 ) . 
Chlordane emulsion, 0.5 pound toxicant per 100 gallons, caused 
moderate injury to Kalanchoe global If era coccinea (referable botanic- 
ally to Kalanchoe blossf eldiana) . — Lumsden and Smith ( 303 ) . 
In North Dakota in 19*48, a 5-percent chlordane dust at 35 pounds 
per acre gave the same yield (lkk bushels per acre) of potatoes as did 
a 5-percent DDT dust. The untreated plot yielded 126 bushels per acre. — 
Munro ejt al. (3*40). 
In North Dakota in 19*+7, a 5-percent chlordane dust gave a potato 
yield of 2o0 bushels per acre compared to 239*9 bushels per acre for the
