Abstract
The surface runoff of isoproturon and diuron is studied using simulate d rainfall applied to small 1 m(2) plots of soil. Isoproturon was less adsorbed by soil than diuron and eroded particles did not contribute to the pesticide transfer. A model is then proposed to describe such t ransfer of pesticide. This model introduces (i) a dilution factor a, w hich seems proportional to the concentration of the soi i solution bef ore applying the artificial rain and (ii) an extraction retardation fa ctor b, which is inversely proportional to the partition coefficient b etween the solid and liquid phase of soil.
