If the dissipation rate of a chemical is slower than the rate at which the chemical is applied in a soil, then the concentration of the chemical will increase, reaching a limit above which the soil may not be suitable for food production. A study by Jones et al. [25] at Rothamsted Experimental Station showed that the concentration of PAHs in the topsoil had been increasing steadily over the last century, with the total PAH increasing by about four-fold.

More recently, a new class of insecticides derived from naphthoquinones found in the South American alpine plant Calceolaria andina has entered development. Compounds are being developed jointly through the British Technology Group (BTG) (following the discovery at Rothamsted Experimental Station) and by Bayer. The mode of action of these compounds is believed to be an inhibition of respiration at site...

Results of numerous experiments at the Rothamsted Experimental Station (Hertfordshire) indicate that rain water is richer in chlorine but poorer in ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen in winter than in summer.

The authors wish to thank Dr. M. Elliott and Dr. N.F. Janes from Rothamsted Experimental Station, U.K., Dr. J. Martel and P. R. Carle from Procida Roussel Uclaf (France) and Dr. L.O. Ruzo from the University of California at Berkeley for providing samples of the insecticides. 

India. Recently, mismanagement of the use of the pyrethroids in India has led to resistance in iL. armigera in the major cotton producing state of Andhra Pradesh (Sawicki, R. M., Rothamsted Experimental Station, personal communication, 1989). As early as 1985, some control failures were experienced in Andhra Pradesh, but...

Hopkins quotes Sir John Russell, former director of the Rothamsted Experimental Station, as follows We have searched diligently for evidence that organic manure gives crops of better quality than inorganic fertilizers, and so far our experiments, made jointly with Dunn Nutritional Laboratories at Cambridge, have all given negative results. No differences have been found. ...

In the best spirit of Rothamsted Experimental Station, " where R.A. Fisher did a great deal of his most important work, the authors decided to pursue their own agricultural studies and measured the masses of samples of two different kinds of beans. Each sample contained six beans randomly chosen from their respective populations, two 1-kg packages...
