Deposition of Pesticides on the Soil Surface

Abstract
This report describes the results of experiments investigating which proportion of the spray liquid that is applied to a crop is actually deposited on the soil surface below the crop. The investigation covers applications throughout the growing season in winter wheat, spring barley, sugar beet and potatoes. The obtained experimental values are compared to the estimates/experimental values used in the FOCUS groundwater scenarios.
