Volatilisation of lindane and MCPP methyl with an increased airflow
Volatilisation of lindane and MCPP methyl applied at the recommended dose to filter paper during a 30 hour period indicates that about 28% and 8% of the applied dose was volatised during the first hour after application for MCPP methyl and lindane, respectively.
Temperature affects the volatilisation of a given pesticide from soil by a direct influence on the vapour density of the pesticide and by temperature influences on the physical and chemical properties of the soil.
Teagasc - Project Report - 4270 - Ammonium Thiosulphate as an Environmentally Friendly Tool for Reducing Inputs (3042 words)
Volatilisation was estimated by means of a stirred dynamic chamber technique in combination with passive diffusion sampling.
Volatilisation from slurry decreased from a maximum emission within the first hour after application and between 75 and 90% of NH was volatilised within the first 24 hours.
The effect of ATS on N volatilisation from urea and slurry was inconclusive.
