The period during and subsequent to World War II has witnessed tremendous progress in the field of agricultural chemicals. Many new organic compounds have been developed and are being recommended for the control of weeds, insects and wireworms in the soil, as well as for the control of fungal diseases of plants. The recent widespread use of some of the newly developed, highly chlorinated hydrocarbons as herbicides and soil insecticides has made it desirable to determine what effect they may incur upon the soil microflora, for it is common knowledge that if such chemicals are bactericidal or even inhibitive to any of the important groups of soil microorganisms, then the normal soil processes would be interfered with and inadequate nutrition of crop plants might result.
