“…Although there are no published data concerned specifically with microbial effects of Aldrin, a number of the more popular and extensively used chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides have been studied to determine their influences on the soil microflora. Jones (1952) and Wilson and Choudhri (1946) observed that DDT, at less than 0.1 per cent, did not injure nitrifiers, ammonifiers, nitrogen fixers, or sulfur oxidizing microorganisms. However, each observed that DDT did increase the total number of soil organisms.…”

“…After 10 days, growth appeared normal. Jones (1952) and Smith and Wenzel (1948) had similar results with DDT at rates as high as 200 and 400 lb per acre, respectively. In fact the former author noted a growth stimulation.…”

“…Later research efforts were directed toward microbial degradation of the chlor inated hydrocarbon insecticides which have been shown to be highly re sistant to attack (Jones 1952, Fleming and Maines 1953, Kiigemagi et al 1958, Lichtenstein and Schulz 1960, Randolph et al 1960, Lichtenstein et al 1962). However, it has been demon strated that microorganisms possess the capability of altering chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide molecules.…”

“…Problems of the persistence and accumulation of pesticides in the soil and of their effects on plants and soil microorganisms (7,14,23,26,28,31,38,40,50,54,56,57) are similar, for the most part, whether the pesticide is applied alone or in mixture with the fertilizer. The danger of adverse effects of the pesticide on plants is greater with row or hill applications of the mixtures than with broadcast applications, whereas the opposite would seem to be true of the over-all effects on microorganisms.…”
