Arguments
=======Arguments
>>>>>>> refs/remotes/origin/main- rate
Application rate in g/ha
- interception
The fraction of the application rate that does not reach the soil
- Koc
The sorption coefficient normalised to organic carbon in L/kg
- latest_application
Latest application date, formatted as e.g. "01 July"
- soil_DT50
Soil degradation half-life, if SFO kinetics are to be used
- model
The soil degradation model to be used. Either one of "FOMC", "DFOP", "HS", or "IORE", or an mkinmod object
- model_parms
A named numeric vector containing the model parameters
Value
