Installation

You can install the package from github, e.g. using the devtools package. Using quick = TRUE skips docs, multiple-architecture builds, demos, and vignettes, to make installation as fast and painless as possible.

library(devtools)
+install_github("jranke/pfm", subdir = "pkg", quick = TRUE)

Analyse TOXSWA output

Read in and analyse a cwa file:

library(pfm)

## Loading required package: R6

example_cwa <- read.TOXSWA_cwa("00003s_pa.cwa")
+plot(example_cwa)

+example_cwa$moving_windows(c(7, 21))
+print(example_cwa)

Calculate PEC soil

Simple PEC soil calculation for an application rate of 100 g/ha and 25% interception, assuming complete mixing into 5 cm and a soil bulk density of 1.5 kg/L, output in mg/kg:

PEC_soil(100, int = 0.25)

PEC surface water due to drift

Initial PEC values for an application of 100 g/ha in the vicinity of a 30 cm deep water body are obtained using
