The leaching index is an indication of the ability of a pesticide to infiltrate ground water. A pesticide with an index of 10 or less has a low filtration potential.

IRRIGATION
Irrigation water is one of the primary and most effective methods used to move Crop Guard® into the zone that needs protection. Studies have shown that Crop Guard® moves downward and laterally with the irrigation profile in soil.
The amount of irrigation water is dependant mainly on:-
