There is little knowledge about the state and dynamics of pesticide residues in agricultural soils. Only very few soil investigations have been conducted so far in Switzerland. In order to detect possible accumulation of pesticide compounds and their degradation products under real field conditions the Swiss Soil Monitoring group (NABO) aims at establishing a suitable monitoring design in the mid-term. The main objective is the protection of soil quality. In this context, biophysical soil models are suitable to interpret measured pesticide residues in soil, to model predictions and derive suitable measures for sustainable soil management. | |
