Mobility assessment of agrichemicals: Current laboratory and suggestions for future directions

The current state of registration requirements for mobility assessments of pesticides is described and the various uses for mobility estimates are outlined, A survey of recent literature on mobility assessments is presented along with a suggestion for a refocus on K-d rather than K-F. A proposal for a different, yet standard, more efficient approach as a replacement for the current requirements is outlined. The suggested approach could fit well within a registration package or a limited research budget as well as provide more information for model input.
