Atrazine Retention and Transport in Soils

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 145))

Abstract

As the world’s need for food, feed, and fiber increases, pesticides become as indispensable in agriculture production as fertilizer. In the United States, 62% of the agricultural land is treated with pesticides, of which 69% is herbicides, 19% insecticides, and 12% fungicides (Pimental et al. 1991).
