A Pesticide Volatilisation Model for Assessing Vapour Drift Potential That Accounts for Crop and Soil Characteristics
Pesticide vapour drift is increasingly recognised as an environmental problem because it can damage non-target crops downwind, affect natural ecosystems, and contribute to pesticide impacts on human health. Field measurements can be complex and expensive; therefore, industry and regulators need tools for estimating a pesticide s vapour drift potential before it is used in the field. This research introduces a model for estimating pesticide volatilisation (which is the precursor to vapour drift) that accounts for soil and crop characteristics and is based on easily obtainable input parameters, such as water-air and octanol-air partition coefficients.
