Article Synopsis
- Sorption coefficients (K(oc)) help predict if pesticides will stay dissolved or stick to soil after application, but measuring them is hard.
- A study analyzed the properties of pesticides used by a sugarcane company in Brazil, focusing on various molecular descriptors, including GRid INdependent Descriptors (GRIND).
- The findings revealed that factors like size, shape, octanol-water coefficient, solubility, and the balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic regions all significantly affect K(oc) values.
