Literature cited for Real Science

Oklahoma State University researchers conducted field studies to measure both nutrient and pesticide runoff from plots receiving both sprinkler irrigation and simulated rainfall. Among the findings: pesticide and nutrient losses from simulated rainfall did not differ from runoff losses caused by sprinkler irrigation.
