metamitron: Degradation of metamitron in soil with co-applied herbicides

Description

The dataset describes the degradation of metamitron in soil at 20°C with several co-applied herbicides. It is a synthetic dataset, that was generated by Monte Carlo methods, starting from the observed data in Vischetti et al., 1996. A data frame with 96 observations on the following 3 variables:

Usage

data("metamitron")

Format

A data frame with 96 rows and 3 variables

Details

• Time. numeric: Days from start of incubation

• Herbicide. factor: M is 'metamitron', MP is 'metamitron+phenmedipham', MC is 'metamitron+chloridazon' and MPC is 'metamitron+phenmedipham+chloridazon'

• Conc. numeric: residual concentration of metamitron
