f I H HE production of nursery stock involves large scale -*applications of fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. It has been observed that some of these compounds inhibit oxygen uptake by root tips of young tree seedlings (7). Previous studies also have shown that many respiration inhibitors have an adverse effect on the absorption of ions by plant roots (2, 5). It is reasonable to assume, therefore, that some of the biocides may depress the assimilation of certain nutrients by tree seedlings. This possibility was investigated by observing with the use of P.the effect of various biocides on the accumulation of phosphorus by Pinus radiata.
