TL;DR: The model results indicate that the replacement of pre-emergent corn herbicides with the post-emERGent herbicides allowed by genetic modification of crops would dramatically reduce herbicide concentrations in vulnerable watersheds, and risks to human populations through drinking water would also be reduced.

TL;DR: A Monte-Carlo numerical simulation procedure for making regional assessments of pesticide leaching has been developed as discussed by the authors using probability density functions for organic matter, field capacity, and wilting point developed from information on approximately 3000 soils.

TL;DR: Agarwal et al. as discussed by the authors measured aldicarb degradation rate in soil samples collected at different depths from a citrus grove near Davenport, Florida, together with the changes in concentration of its two toxic oxidation products, aldiciarb sulfoxide and aldica sulfone.

TL;DR: Degradation of 11 pyrethroids was measured over approximately 100 days in three sediment/water systems under aerobic and anaerobic conditions at 25 °C in the dark to measure degradation rates of bifenthrin and for related isomeric compounds.

TL;DR: Aldicarb was applied to potato plants in two locations in Wisconsin to determine the effects of application procedures and irrigation on degradation and movement of aldicar residues, plant uptake, insect control and crop yield as discussed by the authors.
