Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the fate of quaternary herbicides in soil deposits derived from erosion of vineyard-devoted soils. Herbicide occurrence in the crop soils was due to the farmer application inputs. Special attention should be paid to the presence of paraquat (PQ) in the studied vineyard-devoted soils. The major factor governing the sorption of PQ was the solid state organic fraction with the clay mineral content also making a significant contribution. The mobilization and transport of quats-enriched soil particles may generate downslope and downstream environmental problems that mainly affect detritivore ecology.
