Pesticides in streams and subsurface drainage water within two arable catchments in Denmark: Pesticide application, concentration, transport and fate

Table iii   Aggregated results from the 2 stream stations in the Lillebæk catchment and the stream station in the Odderbæk catchment. In the table the average annual pesticide use in the two catchments is shown together with the average detection frequency and average maximum concentration for 18 pesticides applied in the two catchments during the two -year period. Moreover, the loss:applied ratio is shown for each catchment for a one-year period (4th quarter 1999 to 3rd quarter 2000). Note that the ratio is a minimum because of the pesticide loss only being calculated for the period covered with sampling.   Tabel iii   Gennemsnitlig årlig anvendelse af pesticider i de tre målte oplande i Lillebæk og Odderbæk. Derudover er vist den gennemsnitlige fundhyppighed og gennemsnitlig maximum koncentration af 18 pesticider der blev anvendt i oplandene i de 2 måleår. Endelig er det beregnede tabs:anvendelse ratio vist for året omfattet af 4 kvartal 1999 til 3 kvartal 2000. Den viste ratio er et minimums estimat da tabet kun er beregnet for perioder med prøvetagning.   Average use of pesticides (herbicides - %) (kg active substances) Average detection Frequency (%) (}stdv) Average maximum concentration (ng/l) (}stdv) Minimum loss:applie d ratio (%) Lillebæk upstream culverted sub- catchment (229 ha) 150 (58%) 36 (}29) 521 (}1078) 0.0233 Entire Lillebæk catchment (435 ha) 184 (53%) 28 (}32) 211 (}455) 0.0109 Odderbæk catchment (1143 ha) 1034 (86%) 13 (}20) 204 (}678) 0.0031
