In order to avoid the difficulties of naturally occurring variations in study conditions, Fall et al. (1988) studied the emission of sulfur gases from several plant/soil systems using a flux chamber. The study was designed so that emissions from soil could be separated from emissions from plants. Variable amounts of carbon disulfide were emitted from wheat. The effects of light and temperature were observed. Further work was proposed so that systematic investigation could accurately measure the contributions of a number of sulfur compounds under varying conditions. 

Five-g samples of wheat plant material were soaked in 150 ml of water for 10 hr at room temperature. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate used to germinate pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunosa L.) and ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) seed. The effect of the extract on germination was tested in the presence and absence of light.

Temperature and moisture are two of the most important environmental variables that affect microbial growth, survival, and activity. At optimal temperature and moisture conditions, chemical and enzymatic reactions in the cell will occur the most rapidly and growth and activity will be the highest. However, below and above these optimal conditions, microbial activity decreases. The microbial degradation of. v-triazines appears to follow the same pattern. The effect of soil moisture and temperature on the degradation of terbutryn was evaluated by Chu-Huang et al. (1975). They reported that after 20 weeks of incubation above 10°C and at 14% soil moisture, phytotoxic levels of terbutryn to wheat were not detected in Teller sandy loam soil. 

The experimental data presented herein are the result of exploratory research aimed at bracketing the necessary moisture and inoculum loads for effective pilot-scale distributed upgrading of wheat straw stems for production of straw-thermoplastic composites (4,15). An exploratory approach was chosen for these tests because full-scale outdoor systems having few environmental controls would be difficult if not impossible to closely control. Both temperature and moisture levels vary owing to variations in heat,...
