Abstract
The diffusion characteristics of these compounds in different soils at various moisture contents were studied by sorption isotherms and radiactive tracer technics. Both compounds have approx. the same diffusion characteristics in soils. As they are sorbed primarily on the colloidal soil constituents, especially organic matter, there is little penetration into the undisturbed soil mass. Diffusion is lateral and downward from the point of injection with little upward movement and is essentially complete after 3 hrs. Diffusion is max. when the soil is at the moisture equivalent and min. at air-dryness.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
