The present work is a research study of 2,4-D and atrazine pesticides in three different soils (Agricultural, Garden and Barren) with variable organic matter, measured by a batch equilibrium technique. The effect of soil properties on pesticide sorption was also examined. The results showed that agricultural soil binds maximum atrazine and 2,4-D that may be due to high organic content of the soil.Sorption and binding of atrazine and 2,4-D to organic matter can occur as a result of hydrophobic bonding. pH 4 is found optimum for all soils and showed maximum pesticide adsorption.The present ...
