A lysimeter experiment to investigate the leaching of veterinary antibiotics through a clay soil and comparison with field data.

چکیده
Pharmaceuticals used in livestock production may be present in manure and slurry as the parent compound and/or metabolites. The environment may therefore be exposed to these substances due to the application of organic fertilisers to agricultural land or deposition by grazing livestock. For other groups of substances that are applied to land (e.g. pesticides), preferential flow in clay soils has been identified as an extremely important mechanism by which surface water pollution can occur. This lysimeter study was therefore performed to investigate the fate of three antibiotics from the sulphonamide, tetracycline and macrolide groups in a clay soil. Only sulphachloropyridazine was detected in leachate and soil analysis at the end of the experiment showed that almost no antibiotic residues remained. These data were analysed alongside field data for the same compounds to show that soil tillage which breaks the connectivity of macropores formed over the summer months, prior to slurry application, significantly reduces chemical mobility.

Different root water uptake models have recently been used. In this article, we use evapotranspiration data and soil water content data obtained from lysimeter measurements and root distribution in soil data obtained from olive tree to evaluate the accuracy of root water uptake models in predicting the soil water content profiles. Depth of lysimeter was 120 cm which was filled with clay-loam. L...

In regions like south of “ khouzestan” that water table are high, under the effect of water rise moving through capillary fringe and its vaporize, the salts move to soil surface and cause salin or salin and sodic soils. Leaching assign as one of those adjustment soils methods. In order to investigate the leaching process and draw the curves of desalinization and dealkalization in region of Dar...

In agriculture, cow manures are used to enhance soil fertility and productivity. Escherichia coli is the most common fecal coliform in cow manure and considered as an index for microbial contamination of groundwater resources. The objective of this study was to investigate the transport of Escherichia coli (released from cow manure) through the field soil. Lysimeters (with internal diameter of ...

Since performing field experiments for determining the optimum amount of water for soil desalinization is costly and time consuming, use of computer models in leaching studies has received more attention. However, the accuracy of the results of these models should be evaluated by comparison with the results of the field experiments. In this study SWAP and LEACHC models were used for the simulat...
