Beltanol Sorption Modelling in the Soil Column using High Performance Liquid Chromatography Technique

Abstract

Abstract The Fungicide adsorption process is a major factor that results in failure of pest control. The results revealed that Beltanol sorption is subjected to first order reaction soil sorption, achieving a rate constant 0.013 min-1. This reaction revealed that Beltanol behaviour is not influenced by soil factors. The Kd of Beltanol was 0.152 mL g-1, resulting in less distribution under soil column condition. The Beltanol power function was not linear fitting well, scoring 0.788. Thomas model was estimated KTh = 0.0189 mL g-1 min -1, this indicating that model was fitting to express on its less mobility in the soil. In general, plants can receive a reasonable amount of protection from Beltanol due to its sluggish rate of dissipation.
