  4. Fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescein_diacetate...

    FDA hydrolysis is often used to measure activity in soil and compost samples; however, it may not give an accurate reading if microbes with lower activity phases, such as esterases, cleave the fluorescein first. It is also used in combination with propidium iodide (PI) to determine viability in eukaryotic cells. Living cells will actively ...

  5. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy. It was initially developed in the 1950s at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in Delft to investigate soft soils. Based on this history it has also been called the "Dutch ...

  6. Triclopyr - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triclopyr

    Triclopyr breaks down in soil with a half-life between 30 and 90 days. It degrades rapidly in water, and remains active in decaying vegetation for about 3 months. [4] The compound is slightly toxic to ducks (LD 50 = 1698 mg/kg) and quail (LD 50 = 3000 mg/kg). [5]

  7. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    The standard penetration test (SPT) is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. This test is the most frequently used subsurface exploration drilling test performed worldwide. The test procedure is described in ISO 22476-3, ASTM D1586 [1] and Australian Standards AS ...

    During that time, the testing methods and apparatuses for consolidation testing were improved. [5] Casagrande's contributions to the technique of oedometer testing includes the "Casagrande method" to estimate the pre-consolidation pressure of a natural soil sample. [6] Research was continued at MIT in the 1940s by Donald Taylor. [7]
