Herbicides runoff in vegetated filter strips: evaluation and validation of a recent rainfall model

Abstract

Buffer strips proved to effectively reduce herbicide runoff from cultivated fields mainly due to the ability of vegetation to delay surface runoff, promote infiltration and adsorb herbicides. A rainfall model for the detection of the return period of rainfall/runoff events is recently available for north-east Italy. The present work compares experimental results obtained in 2010 with the outcome of that model and show the good agreement between expected and observed results.
