The fate of DDT present in ensiled pasture herbage has been studied in laboratory silos of 2 kg capacity.

These changes appeared to be unrelated to the type of silage fermentation that ocuurred. The results suggest enbsilage to be a useful management procedure in dealing with DDT‐contaminated pasture.
