Abstract
The translocation of BHC in maize grown in a clay-loam soil and in pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (typhoides)) grown in a sandy-loam soil following presowing soil treatment at rates of 5, 15 and 30 kg toxicant/ha was determined in studies in Udaipur, India, during 1972-74. The residues in soils and plants were analysed by a colorimetric method and microbioassay tests with adults of Drosophila melanogaster Mg. The results from both the methods were highly correlated. The harvest-time residues in pearl-millet plants and grains were below detectable levels with all application rates. In maize plants, weak translocation (much below the tolerance level of 3 p.p.m.) was found only with the highest rate
