This experiment was conducted to several agricultural chemicals such as cuperic sulfate, lime sulfur, swep 80 wp, dithane A-40 and dichlone 50 wp for use as algaecide in wetted nursery of rice, and chemicals were applied at 5 day before and after sowing. The results are summarized as follows. 1. It was found that the effective chemicals as algaecide in wetted nursery were dichlone 50 wp and swop 80 wp, but chemical damage appeared to plant when dithane A-40 and swep 80 wp was applied. 2. Cuperic sulfate was identified to control algae, but it seems to be injurious to seed germination when applied in wetbed nursery. 3. Results were revealed that except dichlone, 50 cuperic sulfate, lime sulfate, swep 80 wp and dithance A-40 decreased the number of roots, rate of dry matter production and plant height compared when no chemical was applied. 4. Dichlone 50 wp was recognized as the most suitable algaecide in view of the plant growth and algae control in wetbed nursery.

1. The oxidizability of $NADPH_2$ by quinones in the presence of $NADPH_2$-diaphorase was tested under aerobic conditions. Also the $^{14}CO_2$-fixation rates were compared when Chlorella suspensions were pretreated with $3{\cdot}10^{-5}M$ cocentration of variou quinones for 10 minutes prior and during the $^{14}CO_2$-fixation period. 2. A close correlation seems to exist between the rate of $NADPH_2$ oxidation by quinones and the $^{14}CO_2$-fixation rate. The effect of quinones on $NADPH_2$ oxidation and $^{14}CO_2$-fixation were in the order of Dichlone>06-K>NQ>BQ. 3. It is postulated that the phytotoxicity of quinones on Chlorella is due to the deprival of $NADPH_2$ consequently inhibiting $^{14}CO_2$-fixation, thus causing death of the cells. 4. The effect of quinones on amino acids biosyn-thesis in Chlorella was one of depressed rates, which was especially noted in the case of dichlone. This would be expected from a consideration of $NADPH_2$ deprival and inhibition of $^{14}CO_2$-fixation. Sucrose synthesis was either not affected or rather stimulated, the reasons of which are not clear at the present time.
