The adsorption of 2-(ethylamino)-4-(isopropylamino)-6-(methylthio)-s-triazine (ametryne) and 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) varied greatly among 34 Puerto Rican soils was studied using the agitated slurry technique. Adsorption was expressed as a distribution coefficient (Kd), which is the ratio of the amount of herbicide adsorbed to the amount in the equilibrium solution. In general, diuron was adsorbed to a greater degree than ametryne. Adsorption of ametryne was positively correlated with organic matter and silt content but negatively correlated with pH of the soil. The inclusion of soil pH in a multiple regression analysis contributed the highest increase in explanation for adsorption of ametryne. Adsorption of diuron was highly correlated with organic matter content and cation exchange capacity. A correlation was found between adsorption of diuron and content of magnesium, and soil texture. Cation exchange capacity was the only inclusion soil property which, in addition to organic matter, significantly contributed to the adsorption of diuron. Temperature appeared to have a greater effect on the adsorption of diuron than on the adsorption of ametryne. Conversely, the effect of pH on the adsorption of ametryne was significantly greater than that of diuron.

Soil samples were collected from M. R. Khan tea-estate area of Moulvibazar district, Bangladesh. Organic matter, active acidity, reserve acidity, cation exchange capacity, clay content and textural class of the collected soil samples for different topographic positions and depths were determined. The percentage of sand, silt and clay varied from 59.75 to 70.50, 12.50 to 20.00 and 14.50 to 22.75, respectively. Active acidity and reserve acidity of the soils varied from 4.13 to 5.82 and 3.46 to 4.84, respectively.  Organic matter content varied from 0.37% to 1.93%. Cation exchange capacity (CEC) varied from 11.42 to 24.86 cmolKg-1. Soils were acidic in nature with considerably high reserve acidity. The measured parameters of the soil samples were plotted and analyzed with reference to topography and depth. The parameters have been found to vary with sampling sites, depths and topography.

The adsorption capacity of Fluometuron, Prometryne, Sencor, and 2,4-D by 48 local soils was determined spectrophotometrically. The mean adsorptivities of the four herbicides by these soils were as follows: Prometryne 37.0 percent, Sencor 23.0 percent, Fluometuron 22.6 percent, and 2,4-D 12.4 percent. The results indicated that organic matter content was the factor most highly correlated with adsorption of these herbicides by the 48 soils. Cation exchange capacity was found to correlate significantly with adsorption of Fluometuron, Prometryne, and Sencor. Such was not the case with 2,4-D. Correlation between clay content and adsorption of Fluometuron and Sencor was statistically significant. In contrast, no significant correlation was noted between clay content and adsorption of Prometryne and 2,4-D.

Pesticides pose a threat to the environment and eventually human health. Extent of contamination of pesticides can be determined and monitored by analysis of pesticide residue in surface water, sediments, soil, and biota. Samples were collected from Manlapay, Barangay Mantalongon in Dalaguete, reportedly the vegetable basket of Cebu, from October to November 2013. Concentration of the pesticide deltamethrin was determined by Gas Chromatography-Electron Capture Detector along with organic matter content (OM), potassium (K) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) using standard methods of analysis. Data showed that deltamethrin was found to be present in soil and cabbage and beyond detection limit in water. Inverse relationship was found between residue in cabbage and in soil confirming pesticide leaching as supported by rainfall data. Organic matter and cation exchange capacity in soil showed significant correlation to detected deltamethrin residue confirming that pyrethroids are strongly bound to organic matter and free exchangeable potassium ions. Deltamethrin residue in water does not show any correlation to any other parameters as it is beyond detection limit, probably due to volatilization and photodegradation of deltamethrin in water. Temperature variation does not show significant difference to deltamethrin residue in all three matrices. The detected deltamethrin residue concentrations in the cabbage (<0.001-0.029 ppm), soil samples (0.007-0.008 ppm) and water samples (<0.0005 ppm) were all below international guideline limits (ASEAN maximum level of 0.5 ppm deltamethrin in cabbage, EC ecologically accepted concentration of 1290 mg deltamethrin/kg soil, and a maximum limit of 0.0025 ppm deltamethrin according to Canadian water quality, respectively). Inspite of the low concentrations detected in cabbage, soil and water samples, an extensive pesticide monitoring on environmental samples within the area is advisable.  This will help the adoption of an efficient risk assessment strategy to inform appropriate interventions.

The differential in the adsorption capacity of 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6- (isopropylamino)-s-triazine (Atrazine) and 3-tert.-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyl- uracil (Terbacil) by 34 Puerto Rican soils was studied in the laboratory using C14-labeled herbicides. The various soils differed greatly in their capacity to adsorb Atrazine and Terbacil. The Caño Tiburones soil was found to be the most adsorptive for both herbicides; the Toa sandy loam and Talante sandy loam the least for Atrazine and Terbacil, respectively. Atrazine was consistently adsorbed to a greater degree than Terbacil. Adsorption of Atrazine was correlated positively with organic matter content, cation exchange capacity and magnesium and silt content but negatively with sand content. Adsorption of Terbacil was positively correlated with organic matter, cation exchange capacity, soil pH, content of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and clay but negatively with sand content of the soil. Representative adsorption isotherms of Atrazine and Terbacil on several important island soils devoted to sugarcane cultivation are also presented in this report.

The objectives of this work were (1) to determine the relation existing between the organic matter contents of Ap horizons and their respective soil Orders, (Gleysolic and Podzolic), texture, pH and geographic locations in the different thermal regions of Quebec and (2) to determine the role of organic matter and soil texture on the cation exchange properties of the same Ap horizons coming from soils used for forage crops in Quebec. The cation-exchange capacity (CEC), the exchangeable bases and acidity were determined by using 1 N NH4OAC – pH 7. The results showed a variation in the carbon content ranging from 1.4 to 6.9%. The heat units accumulated in each region and the clay contents were correlated with the percentage of carbon and nitrogen. Soil pH and soil Orders (Gleysolic vs. Podzolic) did not seem to affect the organic matter content. The cation-exchange capacity (CEC) ranged from 10.6 to 42.6 meq/100 g soil; 40% of this was attributable to carbon and 32% to clay contents. Simple and multiple regression equations showed that carbon was correlated with the exchangeable acidity, while clay was related to the exchangeable bases. The CEC of organic matter and clay were respectively 161 ± 45 meq/100 g organic matter and 29 ± 6 meq/100 g clay. These values, lower than for Western Canada, reflected the nature of the organic matter that is less developed in Eastern Canada than in the Chernozemic soils; they also showed the effect of the predominant illite mineral found in the clay fractions compared to montmorillonite in Western Canada.

Exchange Complex

Changes in the cation exchange complex are one of the secondary effects arising out of the increasing organic matter content of soils, due to the influence of phosphorus fertilizers on leguminous pastures. Analysis of solonetzic soils from the long-term Kybybolite P plots indicates that there is a close relation between organic matter increase and increases in cation exchange capacity. For each increase of 0.1 % soil nitrogen, there has been a corresponding increase of 3.48 m-equiv.jl00 g in cation exchange capacity. Associated with these changes there have been increases in the level of exchangeable calcium and exchangeable hydrogen. Changes in exchangeable calcium appear related to the amount and form of fertilizer or amendment applied. Where little calcium has been added, the increase in cation exchange capacity has been satisfied almost entirely by hydrogen, and base saturation has decreased. There appears to have been little upward movement of metal cations from the lower horizons to the surface by plants, possibly owing to the species involved, or to the intractable nature of the B horizon. The possible effects of changes in the cation exchange complex on plant growth are discussed. Also, the possibility of maintaining base saturation on infertile soils where cation exchange capacity is being increased, is examined.
