Utilization of carbon-rich waste materials to reduce pesticide movement to groundwater in a sandy coarse-textured soil
Abstract
dc:descriptionPesticide use on coarse-textured soils frequently leads to groundwater contamination. Based on the fact that organic carbon is the primary contributor to pesticide sorption in soil-water systems, a resolution of this problem is anticipated through external application of organic carbon sources. In this study, laboratory soil column leaching and greenhouse bioassay experiments were performed to examine effects of three organic carbon-rich wastes (i.e., waste activated carbon (WAC), digested municipal sewage sludge (DMS), and animal manure) on pesticide adsorption, leaching, and bioactivity in a sandy coarse-textured soil.
