The Phytotoxicity of D.D.T. and of Benzene Hexachloride
Annals of Applied Biology, 1948 Spraying with two preparations of D.D.T. had a negligible effect on the maturation of outdoor tomatoes and of summer cabbage. Spraying with a commercial D.D.T. suspension damaged cucurbits and treatment with the suspension base distorted glasshouse cucumbers during one season only.Benzene hexachloride (B.H.C.) sprays did not affect the yield or flavour
