In recent years, the outflow of pesticide from farmland to public water has been a concern. Three major routes of movement and diffusion of applied pesticides in farmland, such as drift at spraying, surface runoff by rainfall after spraying and leaching into groundwater have been investigated. As a result, several test methods have been developed for the assessment of the predicted environmental concentration (PEC) of pesticide. Among them, an indoor runoff test system was introduced under the test guidelines for PEC calculation in the Standard for Withholding of Registration.
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.
