Abstract
The assumption of constant dispersion coefficient is ubiquitous in the modeling of pesticide transport through the root zone. This assumption is critically examined and found to be invalid in most lab and field studies. An improved model is proposed and tested in which it is assumed that the dispersion coefficient grows linearly with time and distance traveled. Ways in which this improved representation of dispersion could be incorporated into existing models of pesticide transport are discussed.
