    first paper to report toxicity of a synthetic surfactant (= surface-active substance) to soil algae. A first paper to report phytotoxicity of a  cationic surfactant to  higher plants exemplified by the plant seedlings of buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum.

    In 1991, this journal got a new title. Now this journal is entitled: Russian Journal of Ecology.
    This a first paper to report toxicity of a synthetic surfactant (= surface-active substance) to soil-dwelling algae.

    Also, this is a first paper to report phytotoxicity of a  cationic surfactant to  higher plants, namely, toxicity to the plant seedlings of buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum.
