Abstract/Contents: | Describes how frozen soil can cause an increase in runoff because of soil pores being filled with water. States that "any pesticide not used or unattenuated when the temperature drops can potentially end up in runoff." Explains that "there are many factors affecting the potential for runoff, including rainfall rate and duration, soil type, moisture level, grass type and growth stage." States that "runoff on frozen soils can represent the majority of the total yearly runoff and may contain a significant portion of the total pesticide loss." |
