    A novel soil percolator design allows for independent, parallel operation of multiple columns. This apparatus was used to study pesticide impacts on soil nitrification processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Soil Science
    • Agricultural Chemistry

    Background:

    • Soil percolation is crucial for understanding nutrient and contaminant transport.
    • Nitrification is a key soil microbial process sensitive to environmental changes.
    • Pesticide application can impact soil health and microbial functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new multiple-column soil percolator apparatus.
    • To demonstrate the apparatus's utility in studying pesticide effects on soil nitrification.

    Main Methods:

    • A simple, independent, multiple-column soil percolator was designed and operated.
    • The apparatus allowed for operation under both pressure and suction.
    • An experiment was conducted to assess pesticide effects on soil nitrification.
