Chlorpyrifos degradation in a Biomix: Effect of pre-incubation and water holding capacity

Biobed system is a simple method to minimize point source contamination during manipulation of pesticides and is based on the adsorption and degradation potential of a biomix composed by top soil, peat, and straw and covered with a grass layer. In our study, the biomix was prepared with Andisol, pea...
