Carbon dioxide evolution was used to determine the storage life of 22.7% moisture shelled corn. Four iprodione fungicide treatments plus an untreated control were tested. The fungicide was tested on corn having three levels of mechanical kernel damage: 7% (hand shelled), 25% (combine harvested), and 16% (a blend of the other two damage levels). All iprodione treatments significantly increased storage life. Corn samples with higher levels of kernel damage took shorter times to reach the 0.5% dry-matter loss (DML) level. For combine-shelled corn, the fungicide increased storage life 17% at 15 mg/kg of corn and 46% at 20 mg/kg of corn.

The effect of addition of cellulose film on the level of nitrate in a mull humus soil was studied over a period of 16 weeks. During the early stages of decomposition, nitrate was taken up from the soil, leaving it deficient in nitrate for up to 7 weeks. In later stages of decomposition, some of this nitrate was released again. Carbon dioxide was produced from the cellulose film over the whole experimental period. The results were broadly correlated with previous observations on the succession of microorganisms and fauna on cellulose film. The role of the fauna in nitrogen mineralization is discussed.
