Title: Interception and Retention Factors for Pesticides Applied
to Plant Foliage
Coordinator(s): J.
Linders
Completion Date: 2000 - project completed
Objective:
Objective is to evaluate available information on foliar interception
and retention of pesticides following spray application and to develop
recommendations for new estimation rules for these quantities. This
project will fill a current technology gap in the procedures for environmental
exposure and risk assessment of pesticides in agroecosystems employed
by regulatory agencies and researchers.
Progress:
Outline draft available. A complete draft to be prepared by January,
1999. Near-final draft report and project conclusions and recommendations
will be available for review by the Commission on Agrochemicals and
the Environment at the Berlin General Assembly during August, 1999.
Project completed - IUPAC Technical Report published in Pure
Appl. Chem.,

values after pesticide application'.
