Pesticides play a crucial role in modern agriculture, enhancing crop yields and quality. However, their widespread use raises concerns about environmental pollution and human health risks. This study addresses these concerns by presenting a simulation model to predict the fate of pesticides in soil, considering various factors such as soil composition, water flow velocity, diffusion coefficients, and degradation rates. Through numerical simulation, the model demonstrates its capability to predict pesticide propagation over time and space, as well as illustrating the impact of different parameters, highlighting the importance of sustainable pesticide use practices. Overall, this study contributes to efforts aimed at developing effective pesticide management strategies and protecting the environment.
