Effects of Gamma Radiation on Soil and Diphenamid

Gamma radiation of 3 megarads (Mrad) achieved complete sterilization in Newe Ya'ar clay soil, without affecting subsequent growth of oats (Avena sativa L., var. Mulga) in the irradiated soil. N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylacetamide (diphenamid) in aqueous solution or mixed within Newe Ya'ar soi...

Description
Summary:Gamma radiation of 3 megarads (Mrad) achieved complete sterilization in Newe Ya'ar clay soil, without affecting subsequent growth of oats (Avena sativa L., var. Mulga) in the irradiated soil. N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylacetamide (diphenamid) in aqueous solution or mixed within Newe Ya'ar soil was detoxified by irradiation with 3 Mrad.
