Rosemaund Pesticide Transport Study 1987-1993

Abstract

This report comprised the results, conclusions and recommendations of a project in the early 1990s to study the pesticide concentrations in soil and water that resulted from normal use of agrochemicals on arable crops at a farm in the Rosemaund catchment.

It concluded that at least some of the environmental degradation in the stream was due to pesticide
