| effects of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on kentucky algae: simultaneous laboratory and field toxicity testings. | 2,4-d was applied to a cove in kentucky lake which was highly infested with myriophllum spicatum (eurasian watermilfoil). effects of 2,4-d on nontarget algal communities were monitored concurrently in the field and in laboratory microcosms for eight days. results indicated that indirect effects of water temperature and increased nutrient concentrations due to lysis in milfoil plants may be more important in the field community dominated by chlorophyta, pyrrhophyta, and bacillariophyta. 2,4-d app ... | 1996 | 8975831 |
