Movement of certain agricultural chemicals in soil was studied in the laboratory by measurement of the Ri values of monuron, diuron, bromacil, terbacil, and chloroneb on thin layers (400 p) of soil deposited on glass plates and developed in water, and by determination of the Freundlich isotherm constants (K) of these chemicals in soil-water systems. The relationship of the Freundlich constants (K) to the Ri values is discussed. An empirical equation relating these constants for the above agrichemicals on Keyport silt loam is shown to be K = (1 IRi -1) + 0.85.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
