  • Abstract:
  • Agricultural practices, while essential for food production, have led to significant environmental concerns due to chemical inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. Soil chemistry plays a pivotal role in determining the fate of these chemicals—particularly pesticides, nitrates, and phosphates—in agroecosystems. This review examines the mechanisms controlling pesticide degradation and mobility, the pathways and factors influencing nitrate leaching, and the complex dynamics of phosphate retention in soils. Understanding these processes is vital for developing sustainable agricultural practices that minimize pollution and protect water quality.
