What Does PELMO Stand For?

PELMO stands for Pesticide Leaching Model

PELMO, or Pesticide Leaching Model, is a computational tool designed to assess the movement and concentration of pesticides in soil and groundwater. It simulates the leaching process by considering various factors such as soil properties, pesticide characteristics, and environmental conditions. PELMO is utilized by researchers, agronomists, and environmental professionals to evaluate the potential risks associated with pesticide use and to guide sustainable agricultural practices.
