Dust Particles as a Pesticide’s Carrier in Agro-Ecosystems; Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis

The agricultural landscape constitutes a mosaic of various crop plots intertwined with non-disturbed natural areas. Extensive use pesticide spraying can pollute the areas, causing damage to food webs. damages systems be temporary and cumulative. Although many studies have dealt results drift environment, we lack knowledge on role dust particle transfer pesticides. study aims investigate particles as carriers. It examines presence accumulation pesticides in vegetation soils farmlands areas nearby two different climatic zones, Mediterranean semiarid. was hypothesized that seasonal activities affect transport research methods included qualitative quantitative analyses hierarchy distances from agriculture fields into nearby. renewal indicated activity leading major contribution spatial distribution pesticides, both climate zones.
