Technical Abstract: Determination of pesticide sorption under local conditions is required to predict off-site transport. Recent surveys detected pesticides in surface water and groundwater of the Baltic region, but there is little information in the peer-reviewed literature regarding the fate of pesticides in Baltic soils. This study was conducted to evaluate the sorption of eight herbicides (alachlor, amitrole, atrazine, dicamba, imazamox, imazethapyr, pendimethalin, and simazine) to seven agricultural soils of Lithuania. Soil-water partitioning coefficients were measured in batch equilibrium studies using radiolabeled herbicides. In most soils, sorption followed the general trend: pendimethalin>alachlor>atrazine~amitrole~simazine>imazethapyr> imazamox>dicamba which is consistent with the trends in hydrophobicity (log Kow) except in the case of amitrole. Preliminary retardation factors calculated for each herbicide-soil combination indicated that these seven herbicides were predicted to be most susceptible to leaching in soils of intermediate organic carbon content and sand content. Based on estimated retardation factors, pendimethalin was predicted to be very immobile in all soils, and dicamba was classified as mobile in all soils. In most soils, alachlor was predicted to be very immobile; amitrole, atrazine, simazine, and imazethapyr were classified as moderately immobile; and imazamox ranged from moderately immobile to mobile. Herbicide management is important to the continued increase in agricultural production and profitability in the Baltic region. These results will be useful in identifying critical areas requiring improved management practices to reduce water contamination by pesticides.
