Abstract
The environmental fate of field-applied, agricultural pesticides has been under investigation for a number of years. Efforts to develop models for predicting the environmental fate of agricultural pesticides have revealed gaps in our understanding of the processes that regulate pesticide persistence and movement and pointed out areas where technology improvement is needed. Understanding the factors and processes affecting pesticide delivery to target plants and subsequent disappearance from these plants is required to improve methods and systems used for agricultural pest control. These improvements are needed to attain the goal of maximizing economic pest control while minimizing environmental pollution. The purpose of this review is to provide information concerning pesticide persistence on foliage as related to development and testing of predictive models. Although the literature included in this review is extensive, the cited data are intended to be representative, not all inclusive.
