Abstract
Chemical transport in soil is a major factor influencing soil and water contamination. Four soils and turfgrass thatch, representing a wide range of organic carbon OC content were studied to determine sorption Kd and Kf parameters for the insecticides chlorpyrifos and fonofos. The batch equilibrium method was used. The concentration of insecticide was measured in the solution as well as in the solid phase to determine the most accurate sorption data. Four soils and thatch were equilibrated for 24 h at 22 ± 1OC with aqueous insecticide solutions. Four concentrations of the insecticides, each 2 ≥ 0.97. Koc (percent of organic carbon %OC normalized Sorption coefficient) values were calculated by using experimentally developed Kd and Kf coefficients in relation to OC levels from 0.29 to 34.85%. Kd and Kf coefficients of both insecticides were positively correlated with OC (r2 ≥ 0.96). organic matter OM (r2 ≥ 0.96), and cation exchange capacity CEC (r2 ≥ 0.90).Keywords
