Imidacloprid sorption and transport in cropland, grass buffer and riparian buffer soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
equilibrium model, and HYDRUS-1D, a multisite sorption chemical non-equilibrium transport model. Sorption results indicated that ICD sorbs more strongly to soil from riparian VBS (Kd= 22.6 L kg-1) than crop (Kd= 11.3 L kg-1; p = 0.04) and soil organic carbon...
