Article Synopsis
- Agriculture equipment cleaning can pollute water sources if not properly managed.
- Biobeds, which are soil mixtures, help control pesticide pollution but are affected by temperature and moisture levels.
- This study found that temperature significantly impacts pesticide breakdown, with optimal conditions at 30°C and 90% moisture, and carbofuran dissipating the least while glyphosate dissipates the most.
