| Abstract: |
| Pesticide environmental risk assessment is a key part of pesticide registration process. Here we applied the concept of standard scenario system developed by the European Union(EU) to groundwater risk assessment of pesticides used in dryland crops. Precipitation, temperature, soil organic matter and pesticide application ways were all considered as the main factors affecting environmental behaviors and soil concentrations of pesticides. Based on meteorological, soil and agricultural production data, a GIS approach was adopted to establish the standard scenario systems. They consisted of 6 scenario zones and 11 standard scenarios. The PEARL model developed by the EU for simulation of pesticide environmental risk was employed to test the established scenarios. The simulation showed pesticide Aldicarb had high environmental risk but Atrazin and Oxadixyl was relatively safe. These results show that the established scenarios would be useful for enhancing the efficiency of pesticide registration. |
