Most agronomic situations involve a sequence of herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide application. On the other hand, use of pesticidal combinations has become a standard practice in the production of many agricultural crops. One of the most important processes influencing the behavior of a pesticide in the environment is its degradation in soil. It is known that due to several pesticide applic...

An investigation of the migration of 3-chloro-p-toluidine hydrochloride (CPTH) on treated rice baits to soils in Louisiana rice fields was completed. The persistence of free CPTH in these soils was evaluated with field and laboratory experiments. These soils were also screened for the presence of CPTH degradation products. Soils treated with CPTHfortified rice bait and aqueous solutions of CPTH...

A comprehensive assessment of policy impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural soils requires careful consideration of both socio-economic aspects and the environmental heterogeneity of the landscape. We developed a modelling framework that links the large-scale economic model for agriculture CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact assessment) with the biogeochemistry...

INTRODUCTION In Italy, the current legislation for contaminants in soils provides two land uses: residential/public or private gardens and commercial/industrial; there are not specific reference values for agricultural soils, even if a special decree has been developed and is currently going through the legislative approval process. The topic of agricultural areas is relevant, also in considera...

Increasing diffuse nitrate loading of surface waters and groundwater has emerged as a major problem in many agricultural areas of the world, resulting in contamination of drinking water resources in aquifers as well as eutrophication of freshwaters and coastal marine ecosystems. Although empirical correlations between application rates of N fertilizers to agricultural soils and nitrate contamin...

Largely, Turkey is a hilly and mountainous country. Many rivers rise from the mountains and flow into the seas surrounding the country. Mean while along fertile plains around the rivers and coastal floodplains of Turkey were densely populated than the other parts of the country. These characteristics show that there is a significant relationship between river basins and population or settlement...

The article presents the results of studies water-physical properties reclaimed peat soils four objects Ryazan region, included in Meschera. Drainage systems are destroyed due to lack maintenance, which leads an increase level groundwater drained areas. have similar changes, expressed utilization over 65 years drainage by 28-38 %, soil compaction 0.08-0.12 g/cm3, a decrease ash content 2-2.9 % ...
