| Title | Effects of Mosquito control Insecticides on Nitrogen Fixation and Growth of Blue-Green Algae in Natural Plankton Associations |
| Creator | Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Apperson, C. |
| Description | Nitrogen (N2) fixation by blue-green algae is a significant source of fixed nitrogen for many natural and agricultural aquatic systems (FOGG et al. 1973). Laboratory studies have shown that pesticides used in aquatic habitats affect blue-green algal growth (BAT-TERTON et al. 1971; VENKATARAMAN and RAJYALAKSHMI 1972; SINGH 1973) and N2-fixation (DASILVA et al. 1975). Field studies have also shown that insecticide applications can increase biomasses of blue-green algae (RAGHU and MACRAE 1967a;... |
