Summary

Potato plants 11/2 feet from a column of soil containing 32P accumulated the 32P in the foliage. At distances of 41/2 feet or more no 32P could be detected.

Resumen

Se sacó la tierra de unos pozos para mezclar con 32P y luego reponerlo. Se observó que plantas de papa de 46 cm de distancia de los pozos tenian acumuladas en el follage el 32P, pero las plantas de 1.37 m o más distancia no detectaron el 32P.
