- Title

- Abstract
The article presents a research paper that aims to study the influence of three soil treatments including yard waste compost amended soil with compost added to soil surface after rototilling (CA), no-till (NT) and conventional till (CT) on metribuzin concentration and loading to surface water through runoff and in sediment. NT has higher pesticide concentration than CT plots with organic residue added after tillage. It was found out that the highest runoff pesticide concentration is at the start of an event. The runoff of CA was darkest in color which shows more soluble organic material with higher metribuzin water solubility. The metribuzin concentrations cause small environmental concern when natural dilution and degradation are considered.
