How do Pesticides Move in the Environment?
Once pesticides and their degradates (new compounds formed by the transformation of a pesticide by chemical or biological reactions) reach the atmosphere, streams, or ground water, they move through the hydrologic system with air, water, or particles, depending on the chemical and physical properties of the compounds.

How do Pesticides Move in the Environment?
Once pesticides and their degradates (new compounds formed by the transformation of a pesticide by chemical or biological reactions) reach the atmosphere, streams, or ground water, they move through the hydrologic system with air, water, or particles, depending on the chemical and physical properties of the compounds.
Effect of herbicides in relation to environment
If a herbicide is not degraded, it may remain in the plant or end up in the soil as a contaminant. Eventually, however, all herbicides that enter a plant, the soil, water, or atmosphere will be degraded by the same chemical and physical reactions that act on biologically derived compounds.
Why does soil acidity matter to crop productivity?
Acidity has the following effects on soil: It decreases the availability of plant nutrients, such as phosphorus and molybdenum, and increases the availability of some elements to toxic levels, particularly aluminium and manganese. Essential plant nutrients can also be leached below the rooting zone.
