Abstract

Equilibrium propiconazole and terbutryn adsorption characteristics were evaluated in ten acid vineyard soils with a wide range of organic matter and copper concentrations using batch experiments. Adsorption data from equilibrium adsorption experiments were generally well described by linear and Freundlich models. Parameters from these models showed that soil organic matter played a key role of propiconazole adsorption processes, but also the amorphous Fe oxides content in soils. Soil organic matter positively influenced terbutryn adsorption, whereas increases in exchangeable copper decreased terbutryn adsorption. Desorption experiments showed that both, propiconazole and terbutryn adsorption in soils was quite irreversible, i.e. the amount of pesticides desorbed after its adsorption was always less than 50%.
