R Documentation

Calculate risk of pesticide leaching

Description

This function calculates the risk of pesticide leaching from a soil. The risk is calculated by comparing the current leached fraction with a worst case scenario

Usage

calc_pesticide_leaching(
  B_SOILTYPE_AGR,
  A_SOM_LOI,
  A_CLAY_MI,
  A_SAND_MI,
  A_SILT_MI,
  D_PSP,
  M_PESTICIDES_DST,
  M_MECHWEEDS
)

Arguments

`B_SOILTYPE_AGR`	(character) The agricultural type of soil
`A_SOM_LOI`	(numeric) The percentage organic matter in the soil (%)
`A_CLAY_MI`	(numeric) The clay content of the soil (%)
`A_SAND_MI`	(numeric) The sand content of the soil (%)
`A_SILT_MI`	(numeric) The silt content of the soil (%)
`D_PSP`	(numeric) The precipitation surplus per crop calculated by `calc_psp`
`M_PESTICIDES_DST`	(boolean) measure. Use of DST for pesticides (option: TRUE or FALSE)
`M_MECHWEEDS`	(boolean) measure. Use of mechanical weed protection (option: TRUE or FALSE)

Value

The risk of pesticide leaching from soils. A numeric value.

Examples

calc_pesticide_leaching(B_SOILTYPE_AGR = 'rivierklei', A_SOM_LOI = 4, 
A_CLAY_MI = 20, A_SAND_MI = 45, A_SILT_MI = 35, 
D_PSP = 225, M_PESTICIDES_DST = TRUE,M_MECHWEEDS = TRUE)
calc_pesticide_leaching('rivierklei', 4, 20, 45, 35, 225, TRUE,TRUE)
calc_pesticide_leaching('dekzand', 4.8, 4.2, 85, 10.8, 225, TRUE,TRUE)
