Presentation of FOOT-FS

FOOT-FS (FS: Farm Scale) is mainly targeted at EXTENSION ADVISERS and FARMERS. The aims of the tool are to:

1) identify the pathways and those areas that most contribute to contamination of water resources by pesticides at the scale of the farm; and,

2) provide site-specific recommendations to limit the transfer of pesticides to water resources.

FOOT-FS is developed as a stand-alone application which allow users to evaluate if their crop protection practices may lead to a transfer of pesticides to water resources (groundwater and surface water). Predictions of pesticide concentrations in leaching and runoff/erosion rely on the pesticide fate models MACRO and PRZM while simpler, more pragmatic, approaches (e.g. drift lookup tables) are used for assessing pesticide inputs via spray drift and point sources (storage places, farmyards).

FOOT-FS will be made available from the Autumn 2009 from the FOOTPRINT web site. If you wish to be alerted when the software becomes available, please register with the FOOTPRINT announcement list.
