Abstract

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of rainfall intensity and soil texture on the transport behavior of three pesticides (2,4-D, metolachlor, and chlorpyrifos). We compared water, sediment, and pesticide losses from two soils (Greenville sandy clay loam from Geor- gia, USA, and a silt loam from Austria), and for two simulated rainfall intensities (40 and 60 mm.h'*) under laboratory conditions. Pesticides were applied to air dry soils at rates
