TL;DR: The current knowledge on mitigation strategies to reduce pesticide inputs into surface water and groundwater, and their effectiveness when applied in practice is reviewed, and recommended measures considered both effective and feasible are recommended for implementing at the farm and catchment scale.

TL;DR: In a field experiment near Cuiaba, Brazil, alachlor, atrazine, chlorpyrifos, λ-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, endosulfan-α, metolachlor and trifluralin were applied onto a Typic Haplustox as discussed by the authors, and 40 mm day−1 tracer solution (containing 5 g l−1 of the dye Brilliant Blue FCF and 0.015 M KBr) were applied in duplicate experiments over a period of 3 days, using either a

TL;DR: In this paper, Vanclooster et al. proposed an approach to upscaling predictions from local-scale data based on the assumption that soil mapping units (soil series or associations, characterized by benchmark pedons, i.e., typical sequences of recognized soil horizons in a profi le) are characterized by information relevant to solute transport and can be considered as macroscopically homogeneous structural units.

TL;DR: Information regarding the relative influence of the climatic characteristics evaluated here can support the development of a climatic zonation for European-scale risk assessment for pesticide fate.

TL;DR: The agro-environmental scenarios developed can be used to underpin the parameterization of environmental fate models for pesticides and should also have relevance for other agricultural pollutants.
