Demonstration of Pesticide Best Management Practices for Controlling Nonpoint Source Pollution in the Monterey Bay Watershed
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a grant to the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments for the purpose of conducting a two year demonstration project addressing...
Pesticide Contamination of Ground Water in New Zealand
Herbicides in Streams: Midwestern United States
Results from a 2-year study of 149 streams geographically distributed across the corn-producing region of 10 midwestern States show that detectable concentrations of herbicides persist...
Uncertainty in Pesticide Leaching Potential
Uncertainty in the pesticide leaching index AF is examined for the pesticides Atrazine and Diuron with attention to the contribution of temporal variability and estimation error in recharge....
Long-Term Effects of Tillage and Crop Rotation on the Leaching of Nitrate and Pesticides to Shallow Groundwater
Contamination of groundwater by nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) and pesticides is a serious problem and concern in Iowa. The extent of contamination can...
Soil-Pesticide Grouping for Water Quality Management
Pesticide and soil properties contribute to changes in runoff and groundwater quality. Because pesticides have been found in runoff and ground water, those managing water quality need...
Remediation and Mitigation Associated with Contamination of Water by Irrigation Drainage
Inorganic trace constituent or pesticide contamination problems associated with irrigation drainage from Federally constructed or managed irrigation projects have been identified in several...
Pressure-Treated Wood Effect on Marina Environment
Pressure treated Southern Pine and Douglas Fir are the most commonly used materials for marina construction in the United States. The preservatives currently used, creosote, chromated...
Land Management and Water Yield in the Appalachians
Watershed treatments on the Fernow Experimental Forest have included individual tree selection, commercial clearcutting, clearcutting upper and lower halves of watersheds, clearcutting...
Fungal Biodegradation of Lignin-Like Pollutants
Environmental Assessment for Three Commonly Used Pesticides: Alachlor, Lindane and Parathion
Evaluation of Vegetative Filter Strips as a Management Practice for Non-point Source Pollution
Research Needs in Movement of Agricultural Chemicals to Groundwater
Better prediction of the movement of agricultural chemicals to groundwater is necessary to permit development of best management practices to reduce adverse environmental effects of agriculture....
Research Need on Integrated System for Water and Pest Management to Protect Groundwater Quality
Research is urgently needed to develop the technology for integrating the methodologies for managing soil, water, ground cover, pesticide applications, and fertilizer applications in such...
Movement of Triazine Herbicides and Metolachlor in a Sandy Soil
The movement of atrazine, cyanazine, simazine, and metolachlor was studied in an Evesboro loamy sand soil. Both no-tillage and conventional tillage treatments were used. Atrazine, simazine,...
