Persistence studies of agrochemical residues in soil and water
Name of PI with associates
Dr. Kaushik Banerjee, Sr. Scientist (Agricultural Chemistry)
Objectives:
Dissipation studies in soil and water to estimate the rate of degradation
To investigate the adsorption-desorption of agrochemicals on soil Exploring fate of pesticides while processing of grapes to raisin and wine
Management of agrochemical residues in soil and water bodies to minimize agrochemical residues in grapes
Duration:
April 2008 to March 2014
Highlights:
Persistence and dissipation of the residues of new generation pesticides in soil of different physico-chemical properties and water with different pH and EC will be explored under in vitro and field conditions. Residues will be monitored on a regular basis at different time intervals after treatment. Dissipation rate kinetics will be studied to estimate half-life on the basis of linear and non-linear kinetic models. Adsorption-desorption will also be simultaneously studied to evaluate the risk of groundwater contamination through leaching.
