ABSTRACT. Because concerns have been expressed about the effects of irrigating truck-garden crops with water from a stream treated with the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM), I conducted studies on the effects of TFM on young plants of common vegetables and fruits. Plants established...
