What Does PRZM Stand For?

PRZM stands for Pesticide Root Zone Model

PRZM, or Pesticide Root Zone Model, is a computational tool designed to simulate the transport and degradation of pesticides in the soil environment. It primarily focuses on predicting the movement and concentration of pesticides in the root zone, aiding in the assessment of their potential impact on groundwater quality. PRZM integrates various environmental factors, including soil properties, weather conditions, and application practices, making it a valuable resource for regulatory agencies, researchers, and agricultural professionals in managing pesticide application and ensuring environmental safety.
