[Nutritive value of carrots grown using the herbicide prometryne]. / Izuchenie pishchenoi tsennosti morkovi, vyrashchennoi s primeneniem gerbitsida prometrina.

Subject to study were some parameters of the nutritive value of carrot grown with the use of the herbicide prometryne introduced at a rate of 2 kg/ha. It was demonstrated that application of prometryne might exert an effect on the chemical composition of carrot and stimulate the synthesis of some of the nutrients (dry substances, sugars, vitamin C) on the one hand, and decrease the formation of other substances (carotene, some of the elements), on the other hand.

[Thiamine allowance of animals receiving rye and wheat grains grown with the use of herbicides from the phenoxy acid chlorine derivative group]. / Obespechennost' tiaminom zhivotnykh, poluchavshikh zerno rzhi i pshenitsy, vyrashchennykh s primeneniem gerbitsidov gruppy khlorproizvodnykh fenoksikislot.

Investigations carried out for several years have shown that the treatment of rye and wheat crops with an amine salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and dialene produces sometimes a decrease in the grain thiamine content of these cereals. Feeding of rye and wheat grains grown with the use of the amine salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid to growing ratlings has demonstrated that the thiamine content in the liver of ratlings is directly proportional to thiamine supply to their body with food.
