Adsorption and Desorption of Chlorpyrifos to Soils and Sediments
Although the use of pesticides is as old as agriculture, the advent of synthetic pesticides in the 1940s was one of the most important achievements that spawned the “Green Revolution” (Tilman 1998). Synthetic pesticides, along with the introduction of chemical fertilizers, enabled dramatic increases in agricultural productivity and quality without the need to increase farmland and labor (Seiber and Ragsdale 1999; Cooper and Dobson 2007). Pesticide use reduces the impact of pests on agricultural productivity by about half (Oerke and Dehne 2004; Oerke 2006), and many argue that reduction or cessation of pesticide use would lead to significant crop loss, increased food prices, and lack of food for the world’s growing human population (Fernandez-Cornejo et al. 1998; Ragsdale 1999; Oerke and Dehne 2004; Cooper and Dobson 2007). Moreover, the use of pesticides alleviates food shortages in developing countries, allowing them to grow crops multiple times a year and export produce to developed nations (Ecobichon 2000, 2001; Oerke and Dehne 2004).
