Reviewing Mathematical Models for Pesticide Leaching Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Leaching is an unavoidable phenomenon associated with the pesticide applications. Leaching of pesticide does not only indicate the efficiency of a pesticide molecule, but also degree of the environmental contamination. Leaching is the process by which a pesticide molecule enters the soil-water ecosystem. Hence, to access the leaching behavior of a pesticide molecule, various models are used globally. This paper reviewed some globally adapted leaching models and tried to find the best fitted model for leaching study.

Pesticide Transport Models: Comparison and Validation with Soil Column Leaching Experiments
Computer models to simulate pesticide transport in the unsaturated zone will be an important management tool in coming years. However, not many efforts were directed to validate the usefulness of such models. In this study, the simulation models GLEAMS, PRZM, and LEACHM were validated. The three models use different mathematical concepts to compute one-dimensional flow and transport in a homoge...
متن کاملSpatially distributed modelling of pesticide leaching at European scale with the PyCatch modelling framework
The modelling of pesticide transport through the soil and estimating its leaching to groundwater is essential for an appropriate environmental risk assessment. Pesticide leaching models commonly used in regulatory processes often lack the capability of providing a comprehensive spatial view, as they are implemented as non-spatial point models or only use a few combinations of representative soi...
متن کاملSensitivity analyses for four pesticide leaching models.
Sensitivity analyses using a one-at-a-time approach were carried out for leaching models which have been widely used for pesticide registration in Europe (PELMO, PRZM, PESTLA and MACRO). Four scenarios were considered for simulation of the leaching of two theoretical pesticides in a sandy loam and a clay loam soil, each with a broad distribution across Europe. Input parameters were varied withi...

Stenemo, F., 2007. Vulnerability assessments of pesticide leaching to groundwater. Doctoral thesis. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 978-91-576-7356-5. Pesticides may have adverse environmental effects if they are transported to groundwater and surface waters. The vulnerability of water resources to contamination of pesticides must therefore be evaluated. Different stakeholders, with different objectives a...
