Gene Transfer Study

The gene transfer study is a long-term study at the Main Site complex, in which a series of small plots are treated with different levels of 2,4-D in order to examine the genetic change in soil microbes. The plots were established in 1992 and are now planted to grass mown once per year. Click on the image for a printable map of the study area.
