Glasshouse studies were conducted to measure translocation of pesticides by summer and winter forage crop species from soil containing aged residues of heptachlor and, to a lesser extent, dieldrin. Under optimal conditions of temperature and moisture, substantial amounts of heptachlor epoxide, and lesser amounts of heptachlor and γ-chlordane were translocated to plants from contaminated soil. Residue levels varied with crop species and stage of plant development. In summer crops residues were higher in lucerne>kikuyu>cowpeas. Residues also were found in mature soybeans, i.e. whole tops, pods and beans. Heptachlor residues in winter crops during early vegetative growth were highest in Saia oats>Berseem clover>Haifa clover>Tetila ryegrass>Schooner barley. In mature crops the order was identical except that Saia oats ranked third rather than first. No dieldrin residues were translocated into the various crop species. |
