The contributors provide a perspective on the fate and transport of pesticides in the soil environment with the goal of helping evaluate the effectiveness of pesticides for pest control and the impact of pesticide use on environmental health. The publication includes discussion on the pathways of pesticides from their entry into the environment through their progression in the various retention, transformation, and transport processes under various conditions. Also available: Physical and Chemical Processes of Water and Solute Transport/Retention in Soils - ISBN 089118835 Challenges and Strategies for Dryland Agriculture - ISBN 0891185542 The American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America are prominent international scientific societies headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. The Societies specialize in peer-reviewed, high-quality science titles for a wide variety of audiences. Some of the many areas we publish in include: -Soils Methods and Management -Crop Development and Improvement -Agrosystem Management and the Global Food Crisis -Environmental Conservation and Climatology
