About the pesticide programme
In 1998, the Danish Government initiated the Danish Pesticide Leaching Assessment Programme (PLAP), an intensive monitoring programme aimed at evaluating the leaching risk of pesticides under field conditions. The first phase of the programme from 1998 to 2001 was funded by the Danish Government, while a two-year prolongation from 2002 to 2003 was funded by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries.
The work was conducted by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences (DIAS) and the National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) under the direction of a management group comprising Jeanne Kjær (GEUS), Marlene Ullum (GEUS), Svend Elsnab Olesen (DIAS), Arne Helweg (DIAS), Ruth Grant (NERI), Betty Bügel Mogensen (NERI), Christian Ammitsøe (Danish Environmental Protection Agency) and Christian Deibjerg Hansen (Danish Environmental Protection Agency).
