Spray Residue in Soil 1
Minor Factor in Plants
Fears that vegetables grown on
land which has been heavily
charged with orchard spray mater
ials might become dangerously
poisonous are apparently unfound
ed, judging from work carried on
by the agricultural chemistry de
partment of the Oregon experi
ment station.
The data so far accumulated in
dicate that, although there are dis
tinct differences in amounts of
lead, arsenic and copper In veget
ables grown on ''sprayed and mi
sprayed soli, these differences are
probably not great enough to be
of serious significance. The pos
sible exception Is that an excess
amount of these spray materials
tu the soil may cause root injury
to young plants.
