Abstract: Collecting undisturbed subsurface soil samples in
noncohesive, heaving sandy environments below the water table
has been extremely difficult using conventional soil sampling
equipment. Several modifications of the conventional hollow-
stem auger coring procedures were adapted, which allowed
collection of depth-discreet soil samples in very fluid,
heaving sands. These methods were used where accurate
subsurface characterization of the contamination of RCRA and
CERCLA sites was essential. Cohesionless cores were
consistently retrieved, aseptically extruded from the core
barrel inside an anaerobic environmental chamber, and
preserved in the field. The physical, chemical, and biological
integrity of discreet soil intervals was maintained for
laboratory analysis. Statistical analysis of repeated
collection of soil samples from the same depth intervals in
nearby boreholes was documented.

Abstract: Chemical methods (HPLC, GC/MS) for the control of
pesticides in water at low concentrations are time consuming,
expensive and need sample pre-concentration. Immunoassays
offer the potential of rapid, inexpensive, sensitive and
specific detection methods. This paper presents a flow
injection system that is based on an immunochemical reaction
and which provides the opportunity for automated, quasi-
continuous measurements for screening water samples for the
presence of pesticides. The method of flow injection
immunoanalysis (FIIA) was compared with competitive ELISA
(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). It is possible to measure
in the range of interest of the 0.1 micrograms litre-1, which
is the limiting value of the European drinking water
directive. Measurements were made for the triazine herbicides
atrazine and propazine, which both cross-react with the
polyclonal antiserum used. Furthermore, this device includes a
new development of a membrane reactor for the exchange of used
biological material, in this case antibodies. A brief
comparison of ELISA and FIIA is presented, giving an overview
of some aspects of the assays.

Descriptors: Groundwater; Agricultural chemicals; Residues;
Sampling
Abstract: Field research and monitoring study design should
depend on study objectives, environmental conditions, chemical
properties, and use patterns. Comprehensive groundwater
research studies will usually involve sampling both the
unsaturated and saturated zone after a carefully controlled
application but often monitoring objectives may be satisfied
by collecting only water samples. In comprehensive research
studies, timely analysis of samples is essential so that
results from previous sampling intervals can be used to guide
activities at future sampling dates. Sampling procedures
should be tailored to agricultural chemical properties and
site characteristics. Regardless of the study design or
objectives, sample contamination should always be avoided by
using trained and conscientious personnel with cleanliness
always being a primary concern.

Abstract: To test whether a simple model could provide
reasonable quantitative estimates of chemical concentrations
in a dynamic situation, Mackay's fugacity model was adapted to
represent an agricultural field. The intention was to
determine the extent of modification required to obtain
reasonable agreement with experimental results, or indeed if
such agreement could be achieved. The validity of the model
was tested at Rosemaund Experimental Husbandry Farm in
Herefordshire, where the chemical input and output could be
monitored and meteorological and other parameters measured
regularly. Results from monitoring concentrations of two
pesticides at this site in recent years. and changes that have
been made to the model in attempting to fit the observed
behaviour are described.

Abstract: Multilevel samplers (MLSs) consisting of
piezometers and tube samplers, a logical approach for
determining the direction of groundwater flow and chemistry in
shallow (< 6 m) nonpoint source (NPS) groundwater
investigations. These MLSs have evolved from fastening the
tubing to conduit at specific depths while the conduit was
lowered into the hollow stem auger train to the present method
of installing preassembled MLSs in boreholes drilled by the
reverse circulation rotary method without the use of drilling
additives. This method allows the aquifer to be sectioned into
discrete layers and provides an instantaneous snapshot of both
flow and chemistry in three dimensions. The procedure has been
used successfully at several sites in Nebraska. The method is
cheap, fast, and accurate in areas where the depth to water is
less than 6 m. While the same procedure can be used where
depths to water exceed 6 m, the need for gas-driven samplers
substantially increases the cost.

Abstract: The accuracy and precision of phosphorus load
estimates from two agricultural drainage basins in western
Finland were evaluated, based on continuous flow measurements
and frequent flow-proportional sampling of total phosphorus
concentration during a 2 year period. The objective was to
compare different load calculation methods and to evaluate
alternative sampling strategies. An hourly data set of
concentrations was constructed by linear interpolation, and
these data were used in Monte Carlo runs for producing
replicate data sets for calculating the accuracy and precision
of load estimates. All estimates were compared with reference
values computed from the complete hourly data sets. The load
calculation methods based on summing the products of regularly
sampled flows and concentrations produced the best precision,
whereas the best accuracy was achieved using methods based on
multiplying annual flow by flow-weighted annual mean
concentration. When comparing different sampling strategies,
concentrating sampling in high runoff periods (spring and
autumn) was found to give better accuracy and precision than
strategies based on regular interval sampling throughout the
year. However, the best result was obtained by taking samples
flow-proportionally within the highest peak flows plus
additional regular interval (e.g. biweekly) samples outside
these flow peaks. Using this strategy, which calls for
automatic sampling equipment, accuracies better than 5% and
precisions better than 10% can be achieved with only 30-50
samples per year.

Language: English
Descriptors: Groundwater; Water pollution; Agricultural
chemicals; Sampling
Abstract: Vadose zone sampling offers an opportunity for
assessing the impact on groundwater quality of chemicals
applied at the land surface. Many interacting factors control
the fate of chemicals in the field cause major sampling
problems even for experienced researchers. Underlying any
sampling program is the absolute need to clearly define the
study's objectives. The sampling procedure should then be
developed with a clear conceptual view of the physical,
chemical, and biological processes that affect the fate of the
chemical(s) under investigation. Basic questions regarding the
spatial, temporal, and statistical distributions of specific
parameters must also be addressed in developing an efficient
sampling plan. There is no "best sampling method" for all
situations, rather, there are several techniques with
attendant advantages and disadvantages. An efficient sampling
plan considers: the underlying processes; spatial, temporal,
and statistical distributions of important parameters; and
limited resources to answer the study's objectives.

environmental variables on the mobility and fate in soil of a
chemical and its plant uptake, and give valid information on
its potential for groundwater contamination. The
interpretation of the studies has to consider: (a) that
migration behaviour under environmental conditions does not
correspond with 'ideal chromatographic behaviour' and (b) that
lysimeter studies include the variables of field experiments
and are not fully standardized. The results of lysimeter
studies on chloethocarb and bentazone are discussed.

Abstract: The root/vadose zone transport models PRZM and
GLEAMS were tested against an experimental data set.
Parameters were not optimized or calibrated to produce the
best fit. In all cases the measured and predicted peak
concentrations agreed within an order of magnitude, and in
most cases agreed within a factor of 2 to 3. This level of
agreement between the models and the measured data is within
the criteria for model acceptance suggested by the EPA. The
small differences noted in simulated transport between the
models are thought to be a result of differences in
computational layering and chemical transport calculation
methods.

Abstract: The United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) may require data from ground-water monitoring studies to
support the registration of pesticide products under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
sections 3(c)5 and 3(c)7. Data from ground-water monitoring
studies are used both to determine the likelihood that a
pesticide will leach and to detect the presence of a pesticide
in ground water from years of use. Fieldscale monitoring
studies are necessary because patterns of pesticide
degradation and movement in the field are influenced by a wide
variety of natural environmental factors that cannot be
duplicated in the laboratory. Monitoring studies have been
required for 37 compounds when residues of the pesticide are
reported in ground water or when the Agency has evaluated the
pesticide as a potential "leacher," based on a review of it's
persistence and mobility. This paper explains the history of
ground-water monitoring requirements for the Office of
Pesticide Programs of EPA and events and issues that led to
the development of the monitoring guidance. New directions in
small-scale monitoring studies are described. Large-scale
ground-water monitoring is mentioned briefly.

Abstract: Spatial variability and its affect on groundwater
flow and transport is an active research field. The
characterization of that spatial (and possible temporal)
variability can often be done effectively by using
geostatistical techniques. The methods used and the
implications for designs and analysis of groundwater transport
and pollution problems will be discussed and illustrated.
Discussion will include the incorporation of soft-data and
their utility.

Abstract: An evaluation of the intermedia movement of
pesticides applied under various land management systems
already in place, or to be implemented, under the Conservation
Reserve and Conservation Compliance programs is presented. The
simulation modeling approach followed in this analysis
consists of a mathematical programming model and
leaching/surface runoff, Pesticide Root Zone Model (PRZM)
models. Special care was taken to ensure that the physical
model was sensitive to the chemical characteristics of
individual pesticides and the important physical changes
brought about by different agricultural practices. Results
show that, although these programs as now planned, increase
farm income and achieve soil conservation goals, they may
adversely affect ground water quality. Also, depending on soil
and location characteristics, there are tradeoffs between
surface and ground water quality implications. Hence, if these
programs are to address water quality problems, the
recommended practices must be evaluated for their impact on
water quality, particularly in potentially vulnerable areas.

Abstract: Recognition that nitrogen applied as fertilizer may
reach groundwater has been known for two to three decades. It
is only in the past decade that evidence has become available
suggesting pesticides may leach to groundwater, also. The
evidence, though mostly anecdotal, has raised the nation's
awareness of the potential for contamination of our water
resources, the need to ascertain the extent of the problem,
and ways to prevent it. Because of the complexity of natural
systems, an interdisciplinary study approach is needed to
provide information for cost-effective solutions to the
problem.

Abstract: Understanding local and regional groundwater-flow
patterns was necessary to design a sampling network to study
the movement and distribution of agrochemicals in the
unconfined aquifer in southeastern Delaware. Clusters of wells
completed at various depths were installed in the expected
direction of local groundwater flow along a transect from the
center of a 100-ha cultivated field toward a nearby stream.
Contrary to expectations, groundwater flow in the study area
is almost parallel to the stream, in the direction of regional
flow. Consequently, agrochemicals from the site migrate along
flow paths from source (recharge) areas to distant regional
discharge areas and do not significantly influence the water
quality in the stream. The sampling network was expanded
upgradient and downgradient from the original site during a
second phase of the study. The expanded network provided
better understanding of agrochemical distribution relative to
regional groundwater-flow patterns.

Abstract: A three-year field study was initiated in 1986 to
determine the impact of tillage practice, mode of pesticide
application, and pesticide formulation on chemical transport.
The 1.28-ha field site was divided into four plots, two each
devoted to no-till and conventional tillage management.
Pesticide transport was evaluated by monitoring the rate of
change in concentrations of pesticides in a shallow perched
water table, located approximately 1 m below the soil surface.
Pesticides monitored included atrazine, alachlor, cyanazine
and carbofuran. All three herbicides were applied as a single
broadcast spray: granular insecticide carbofuran was band-
injected at planting.

Abstract: The role of sediment-bound or particulate P in
agricultural runoff in accelerating the biological
productivity of surface water can be assessed if the
biological availability of particulate P (PP) is known.
Previous research has indicated amounts of P extracted from
deposited river md lake sediments by 0.1 M NaOH to be
correlated with P uptake by the alga Selenastrum
capricornutum. This study investigates a modification of this
extraction to allow routine quantification of potentially
bioavailable particulate P (BPP) content of agricultural
runoff from the Reddish Prairies and Rolling Red Plains land
resource areas. In the proposed method, 20 mL of unfiltered
runoff is shaken with 180 mL of 0.11 M NaOH for 17 b and BPP
concentration calculated by subtraction of the soluble P (SP)
concentration of the runoff sample. Total bioavailable P
concentration (TBP) of runoff can be represented by BPP plus
SP concentration. Growth of P-starved S. capricornutum,
incubated for up to 29 d with runoff sediment from nine
watersheds, as the sole P source, was correlated (r2 = 0.76 to
0.95) with potentially BPP content of the added sediment.
Sample dilution had no effect on the amount of P extracted
from runoff sediment by NaOH across a range in sediment
concentration of the extraction medium, equivalent to that
observed for 95% of the runoff events. If the sediment
concentration of runoff exceeds 20 g L-1, at smaller runoff
sample is used in the extraction. The results indicate the
applicability of the proposed extraction method to quantify
the bioavailability of P transported in agricultural runoff.

Language: English
Descriptors: Groundwater; Water pollution; Agricultural
chemicals; Monitoring; Leaching
Abstract: Recent documentation of agrochemical contamination
of groundwater has suggested that agricultural practices need
to be modified in order to reduce contaminant leaching from
the root zone. Developing agricultural practices which
maintain groundwater quality requires quantitative sampling
approaches that allow determination of contaminant transport
rates for specific practices. Increasingly widespread evidence
of the transient and spatially variable nature of solute
transport in the vadose zone suggests that sampling
groundwater may provide the most reliable method for
determining solute leaching rates, particularly where the
water table is located close to the soil surface. Hydraulic
gradients in the groundwater component of a vadose zone-
unconfined aquifer flow system are generally lower and more
stable than those in the unsaturated region, resulting in less
transient flow conditions during recharge periods. As the
thickness or water holding capacity of the vadose zone
increases, the transport of solutes from the root zone to
groundwater becomes less direct, requiring more solute data
collection from the unsaturated region of the soil profile.
Water and solute storage in the vadose zone immediately above
the water table will alter leachate solute levels during
recharge, to an extent determined by the water holding
characteristics of the profile. Stratification of groundwater
solute levels near the water table as a consequence of changes
in root zone leaching rates requires discrete well screen
placement based on water table fluctuation patterns if
groundwater sampling is to be used to establish leaching rates
for specific agricultural practices.

Abstract: The reliability of the Goulden large-sample
extractor in preconcentrating pesticides from water was
evaluated from the recoveries of 35 pesticides amended to
filtered stream waters. Recoveries greater than 90% were
observed for many of the pesticides in each major chemical
class, but recoveries for some of the individual pesticides
varied in seemingly unpredictable ways. Corrections cannot yet
be factored into liquid-liquid extraction theory to account
for matrix effect, which were apparent between the two stream
waters tested. The Goulden large-sample extractor appears to
be well suited for rapid chemical screening applications, with
quantitative analysis requiring special quality control
considerations.

Abstract: The risk of groundwater contamination with
pesticides applied to soil surface depends on the soil
properties, the agricultural practices, the climatic
influences, and on the properties of the pesticides
themselves. The EXSOL model was developed for the simulation
of the transport and fate of pesticides and organic in soils.
The dynamics of mobility, accumulation and degradation can be
studied under various soil and climatic conditions. Transient
water flow is provided from a simulation model of the field
water balance. The percentages of the herbicide 2,4-5-
trichlorophenoxyacetic acid in a luvisol soil after a single
application in summer are compared with model calculations
using sorption coefficients from laboratory column studies.
The calculated percentages lie within the measured range,
except for those in the deeper soil layer. The underestimation
can be explained with preferential flow in macropores which
may have occurred during the heavy rainfall six days after
application.

Abstract: The relative importance of preferential pesticide
transport in agricultural soils was determined in a two-phase
study conducted on a silt loam soil in Maryland. The first
phase (1984) consisted of evaluating persistence and mobility
of atrazine
[2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine] and
cyanazine [2-chloro-4-(l-cyano-l-methylethylarnino)-6-
ethylamino-s-triazine] under no-tillage corn management. The
second phase (1986) dealt with persistence and mobility of the
same herbicides on fallow tilled soil subjected to frequent,
large water inputs. Although preferential flow was observed
under both treatments and water regimes, the no-till system
had the most rapid movement of herbicide relative to water
inputs. Additionally, all treatments indicated that the
greatest potential movement of surface-applied pesticide
occurred with the first water input subsequent to application.
Once the pesticide has been preferentially transported, it
appears to diffuse into the soil matrix, where it is no longer
subject to significant preferential movement. Based on field
data and calculated mass balance, persistence of atrazine and
cyanazine was unaffected by tillage practice and water regime.

Abstract: Recent studies have shown good correlations between
corn (Zea mays L.) yields and concentrations of NO3, in the
surface 30-cm layer of soil in late spring. Here we report
additional correlations and evaluate the benefits of sampling
to 60 cm instead of to 30 cm only. The study involved 45 site-
years (1346 plot-years) of data collected in 1987, 1988, and
1989 in Iowa. Weather conditions were dryer than normal, with
a severe drought occurring in 1988. Each site-year included
seven to 10 rates of N applied before planting. Samples
representing the surface 0- to 30-cm and the 30- to 60-cm
layers of soils were collected when corn plants were 15 to 30
cm tall. Nitrate concentrations in these soil layers were
correlated with grain yields. The deeper sampling slightly
improved the correlations between grain yields and soil NO3,
concentrations, but the advantage was probably not great
enough to justify the costs of the deeper sampling. The
critical concentration of NO3, was 23 to 26 mg N kg-1 in the
surface 30-cm layer or soil and 16 to 19 mg N kg-1 in the
surface 60-cm layer of soil. Overall, the results support the
idea that a soil test based on concentrations of NO3, in the
surface 30-cm layer of soil when corn plants are 15 to 30 cm
tall has great promise for improving N management during corn
production.

Abstract: In order to obtain residue data from the
application of the algicide endothal in Italian rice paddy
fields, two experiments were carried out using a 50 g kg-1
granular formulation in a small pond and the same granular and
two liquid formulations in actual paddy fields of the Italian
rice growing area. Endothal decay in the pond water was very
rapid, reaching residue levels of 0.01-0.02 mg litre-1 in two
days and 0.004-0.01 mg litre-1 at the third day. The muddy
soil of the pond was free from measurable endothal residues (<
0.02 mg kg-1). In the paddy-field waters, the endothal decay
was slower, with an average half-life time of 3.3 days,
independently of the type of formulation. The actual residues
in water after 6 days ranged from 0.3 to 1.3 mg litre-1
according to the initial amount of product applied, and,
consequently, to the initial concentration in water. Rice
samples collected at the normal harvest time from the two
paddy fields, treated with three different formulations,
showed no endothal residue at the minimum detectable level of
0.01 mg kg-1.

Abstract: To predict the amount of pesticide that could leach
through the soil and contaminate groundwater requires
information about the residue levels at the soil surface over
time. A soil-pan method has been developed to estimate surface
residues and their dissipation rates. An indoor spray chamber
is used to apply the pesticide to soil contained in metal
flats, the treated flats are moved outdoors and set into a
field, and the soil is sampled over the season by taking four
cores per flat. Using this method, it was determined that the
emulsifiable concentrate formulation of deltamethrin
dissipated faster than the Flowable formulation. When the
soil-pan method was compared with a field-plot method, the
dissipation of lambda-cyhalothrin was faster in the soil pans.
Monitoring the soil temperature and moisture indicated that
both were slightly higher in the soil pans than in the
adjacent field plots. At present, the soil-pan method is best
suited for the direct comparison of different treatments.

Abstract: The vulnerability of aquifers to contamination by
agrochemicals is relatively high in the southeastern Coastal
Plain. Transport and fate of agrochemicals in either the root,
unsaturated, or saturated zones can be simulated by existing
mathematical models. However, a linked mathematical model is
needed to simulate the movement and degradation from the point
of application through the unsaturated zone, and into
groundwater. The United States Geological Survey and
Agricultural Research Service initiated a cooperative
investigation in 1986. In 1988, the United States
Environmental Protection Agency joined the research
investigation. These agencies are sharing technical expertise
and resources to develop an understanding of physical,
chemical, and biological processes and to evaluate their
spatial and temporal variability; and to develop and validate
linked model(s) that would describe chemical transport and
fate. Study sites have been selected in the Fall Line Hills
district of the Coastal Plain province. The Claiborne aquifer
recharge area is located in this district near Plains,
Georgia. Instrumentation to measure water and chemical
transport has been installed.

Abstract: WRc are undertaking a long term study of pesticides
in the aquatic environment. A study of the pesticides in the
rain, water and groundwater of the Granta catchment in
Cambridgeshire is now in its fourth year. Preliminary results
are presented and the concentrations of agricultural
pesticides in environmental waters are related to the land-use
is within the catchment. The Granta study is incomplete but
certain anomalies in pesticides occurrence can be identified.
In particular, the triazines are much more prevalent in the
groundwater than their agricultural usage would lead one to
expect. The limited data base gives problems with modelling
the contaminant transport in groundwater. The present
situation is reviewed and areas of future work necessary to
fulfil the modelling needs identified. These areas of study
are: the historical land-use and pesticide usage; the
groundwater quality data base; the pesticide transport in the
unsaturated zone.

Language: English
Descriptors: Groundwater; Water pollution; Agricultural
chemicals; Lysimeters; Sampling; Soil water; Movement
Abstract: Tension lysimeters are widely used to sample soil
percolate. A vacuum is applied to the interior of a porous
ceramic cup and soil percolate is pulled into the cup and held
until collection. Many questions, however, exist as to the
proper use of lysimeters. Foremost among the questions is the
source of water which is pulled into the lysimeter. Lysimeters
generally collect larger volumes of percolate during peak flow
events when soil water is being retained at lower suctions,
and thus may not accurately estimate the magnitude of solute
losses. Problems also exist in the use of lysimeters to
measure specific pollutants. Many pesticides are volatile,
especially under reduced pressure, and concentrations are
likely to be underestimated using tension lysimeters. Nutrient
analysis of percolate collected with lysimeters is often
skewed due to adsorption or desorption of inorganic ions. An
additional problem exists with the analysis of resulting data.
Since sampling times are not randomized, usual assumptions for
analyses, such as independence of error, may not be valid.
Measurements are often lognormally distributed and thus
require transformation.

Abstract: The transformation rate of 1,2-dibromo-3-
chloropropane (DBCP) was determined in phosphate buffer
solution, in groundwater, and in groundwater/aquifer solid
slurries from ambient temperatures to 72 degrees C. From the
disappearance data, the apparent Arrhenius constants for DBCP
transformation were calculated and found to decrease in Ea
with temperature from 19.2 (plus or minus 2.4) kcal mol-1 in
the 55 to 72 degrees C range to 12.5 (plus or minus 1.8) kcal
mol-1 in the 21 to 55 degrees C range. Low sorption values
were an indication that sorption does not play a major role in
the aquifer being studied. No significant difference in the
disappearance rates was observed in the buffer solution
(corrected for buffer effects) and in groundwater with and
without solids added. However, in the phosphate buffer
solution, dehydrohalogenation appeared to be the favored
transformation process in contrast to the groundwater systems
where hydrolysis seemed to predominate. This apparent
influence of dissolved constituents or temperature on
transformation mechanism or rate may restrain the use of
direct extrapolation of data between systems. Applying the
transformation data from this study to median field
parameters, a DBCP half-life of 6.1 yr was calculated for
typical groundwater conditions in California (pH 7.8 and 21.1
degrees C).

Abstract: The installation and sampling of monitoring wells
are important components of most studies of agricultural
chemicals in groundwater. For many agricultural chemicals,
requirements for well materials and sampling techniques can be
simplified compared to those often used in other types of
groundwater monitoring programs. These simplified techniques
allow for quicker reaction to events occurring in a study and
installation of wells in areas inaccessible to drilling
equipment, while reducing unnecessary expenses.

NAL DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES
June 1993
United States Department of Agriculture
National Agricultural Library
Public Services Division
Document Delivery Services Branch
Beltsville, Maryland 20705-2351
The National Agricultural Library has established document delivery service
policies for three user categories. They are 1) individuals; 2) libraries,
other information centers, and commercial organizations; and 3) foreign
libraries, information centers, and commercial organizations. Available
services for each user category are given below. For information
on electronic access for interlibrary loan requests, the "Interlibrary Loan"
file.
1) DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS
The National Agricultural Library (NAL) supplies agricultural
materials not found elsewhere to other libraries.
Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources diverts
NAL's resources and diminishes its ability to serve as a national source for
agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL is viewed as
a library of last resort. SUBMIT REQUESTS FIRST TO LOCAL OR STATE LIBRARY
SOURCES PRIOR TO SENDING TO NAL. In the United States, possible sources are
public libraries, land-grant university or other large research libraries
within a state. In other countries submit requests through major university,
national, or provincial institutions.
If the needed publications are not available from these sources,
submit requests to NAL with a statement indicating their
non-availability. Submit one request per page following the
instructions for libraries below.
NAL'S DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE INFORMATION FOR THE LIBRARY
The following information is provided to assist your librarian in
obtaining the required materials.
LOAN SERVICE -- Materials in NAL's collection are loaned only to
other U.S. libraries. Requests for loans are made through local
public, academic, or special libraries.
The following materials are not available for loan: serials (except USDA
serials); rare, reference, and reserve books; microforms; and proceedings of
conferences or symposia. Photocopy or microform of non-circulating
publications may be purchased as described below.
DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE -- Photocopies of articles are available for a fee.
Make requests through local public, academic, or special libraries. The
library will submit a separate interlibrary loan form for each article or item
requested. If the citation is from an NAL database (CAIN/AGRICOLA,
"Bibliography of Agriculture,"
or the NAL Catalog) and the call number is given, put that call
number in the proper block on the request form. Willingness to pay charges
must be indicated on the form. Include compliance with copyright law or a

3) DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES AVAILABLE TO FOREIGN LIBRARIES,
INFORMATION CENTERS AND COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.
The National Agricultural Library (NAL) accepts requests from
libraries and other organizations in accordance with the national
and international interlibrary loan code and guidelines.
In its national role, NAL supplies copies of agricultural materials not found
elsewhere. Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources
diverts NAL's resources and diminishes its ability to serve as a national
source for agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL
is viewed as a library of last resort.
Submit requests to major university libraries, national or
provincial institutions or network sources prior to sending
requests to NAL. If the needed publications are not available from these
sources, submit requests to NAL with a statement indicating their
non-availability.
AGLINET -- Requesters in countries with an AGLINET library are
encouraged to make full use of that library and its networking
capabilities. As an AGLINET participant, NAL provides free
document delivery service for materials published in the United
States to other AGLINET participants.
REQUESTS -- Submit requests on the American Library Association
(ALA) or the International Federation of Library Associations and
Institutions (IFLA) interlibrary loan form or via electronic mail
or telefacsimile (see over for more details). Include the complete name of the
person authorizing the request on each form; the standard bibliographic source
which lists the title as owned by NAL; and the call number if the citation is
from an NAL database(CAIN/AGRICOLA, "Bibliography of Agriculture", or the NAL
catalog).
DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE -- Submit a separate completed
interlibrary loan form for each article requested. Indicate
willingness to pay charges on the form, and compliance with
copyright law or include a statement that the article is for
"research purposes only". Requests cannot be processed without
these statements. Please read copyright notice below.

* Photocopy, hard copy of microfilm and microfiche - $5.00 for
