Abstract:
      In this study, via the field flow experiment, the interception efficiency of Vegetative filter strips (VFS) on sediment and Lambda-cyhalothrin was measured. The results showed that the inflow discharge and vegetation conditions are important influencing factors for sediment retention. The higher the inflow concentration of Lambda-cyhalothrin is, the more quickly the VFS's sectional concentrations decrease with the length. When the inflow concentrations are 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 mg·L-1, the interception rate of the herb VFS on Lambda-cyhalothrin are 61%, 71%, 75%, respectively, and the interception rate of the shrub-herb VFS on Lambda-cyhalothrin are 52%, 69%, 74%, respectively. The greater the inflow discharge is, the lower the VFS's sectional concentrations decrease lengthwise. When the inflow discharges are 0.87, 3.98, 7.8 L·s-1, the interception rate of the herb VFS on Lambda-cyhalothrin are 61%, 50%, 33%, respectively, and the interception rate of the shrub-herb VFS on Lambda-cyhalothrin are 52%, 44%, 40%, respectively. The study evidenced that VFS can effectively intercept sediment and Lambda-cyhalothrin, which has better prevention effects on agricultural non-point source pollution.
