“…This coincided with improved seasonal conditions in spring and increased pasture growth. This 1s consistent with the glasshouse trials (Singh et al 1990) where uptake of Heptachlor and Chlordane was consistently higher in the same species of pasture and forage crops when growing under optimal conditions.…”

“…Results indicate that, as found in glasshouse studies (Singh et al, 1990), the amount of residues translocated from soil varies with insecticide (heptachlor epoxide > Y~chlordane > heptachlor); variety (Saia oats > Berseem clover > Haifa clover > Cassia oats > Tetila ryegrass > Schooner barley > Shaftal clover > Hunter river Lucerne at the grazing stage); and stage of plant development (seedling > grazing > or = multicut > mature stage). Residues in crops grown under field conditions were substantially lower than those in the glasshouse tests.…”

“…To obtain information of translocation of aged cyclodiene residues from soil into forage crops, glasshouse studies (Singh et al 1990) were conducted in 1986-87. Data Indicated that, under optimal conditions of temperature and moisture, substantial amounts of heptachlor epoxide, and lesser amounts of heptachlor and y-chlordane were translocated to plants from contaminated soil.…”

Field trials were conducted to measure translocation of pesticides by summer and winter forage/pasture species from soil containing aged residues of heptachlor and, to a lesser extent, dieldrin. Substantial amounts of heptachlor epoxide, and lesser amounts of gamma-chlordane were translocated to plants from contaminated soil. Residue levels varied with crop species and stage of plant development. In summer crops residues were higher in soybean > cowpeas > lab-lab > Sorghum > millet > sweet saccaline at the grazing and mature stages. Compared to glasshouse studies undertaken previously, residues in crops grown under field conditions were much lower. This apparently reflects the lower soil moisture levels and the reduced rates of translocation. Heptachlor residues in winter crops were highest in Saia oats > Berseem clover > Haifa clover > Cassia oats > Tetila ryegrass > Schooner barley > Shaftal clover > Hunter river lucerne at the grazing stage. There were no detectable levels in barley and oats at the mature stage. No dieldrin residues were translocated into the various crop species.

The use of plants in remediation of soil and unconfined groundwater contaminated with organic materials is appealing for a variety of reasons: (1) plants provide a remediation strategy that utilizes solar energy; (2) vegetation is aesthetically pleasing; (3) plant samples can be harvested and tested as indicators of the level of remediation; (4) plants help contain the region of contamination by removing water from soil; (5) rhizosphere microbial communities are able to biodegrade a wide variety of organic contaminants; and (6) many plants have mechanisms for transporting oxygen to the rhizosphere. However, before effective plant remediation strategies can be developed, an understanding is needed of the physical, biological, and chemical relationships that determine the fate of each organic contaminant in the rhizosphere. This review presents an overview of some factors required to understand and model the complex processes that determine the fate of the organic contaminants in plant remediation strategies. In addition, some planning and management criteria for the development of practical plant remediation strategies are presented.
