| Abstract |
Solutions of a differential equation for solute transport are described for both transient and steady state soil water conditions. The solutions use independently measured soil and soil-pesticide adsorption-desorption characteristics to describe the movement of a pesticide in a soil profile. Owing to the complexity of the soil-pesticide adsorption-desorption characteristics, numerical solutions of the soil water flow and solute transport equations were used. Numerical dispersion in the finite difference solution of the solute transport equation was considered and a correction included in the solution. Experimental results from laboratory and field studies were used to test the numerical solutions for their ability to describe the movement and distribution of pesticides in a soil profile with time. |
