Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to test the effect of some agrochemicals on the growth of Cladonia furcata. Mineral fertilizer had no direct effect on lichen growth. In contrast, organic manure promoted the length of podetia. A lethal effect was recorded in the case of calcium cyanamide. In addition to direct effects of agrochemicals, indirect effects were also recorded.
