abstract = {To overcome the problem of on farm point sources of
pollution stemming from improper handling, spillages,and
leakages of pesticides during filling and cleaning of
spraying equipment, environmental friendly and lowcost
technology filter systems are currently under development.
Based on a laboratory screening approach, wheredifferent
biomixtures (soil, with biochar and/or digestate) are tested
a full scale outdoor system will be developed.Therefore,
different fundamental processes like pesticide
mineralization, metabolization, sorption-desorption,
andtransport behavior of three radiolabelled pesticides
(Bentazone, Boscalid and Pyrimethanil) will be
investigated.Biochar and digestate mixtures with two
contrasting soils (sandy and silt loam) had been used as a
novel biofiltermaterial for respiration study instead of
conventional soil and straw mixtures. To analyze the
pesticide degradationpotential and to gain information about
the temporal evolution of the degradation process of the
biochar anddigestate soil mixtures microbial respiration was
measured over the course of three month. As expected,
digestateacts as an easily available C-source leading to
highest release of CO2 compared to other biomixtures used.
Incontrast, the addition of even small amounts (1 $\%)$ of
biochar caused a profound suppression in the CO2 releasefrom
digestate based mixtures. The exact driving mechanism for
this suppression can be manifold likes negativepriming or
chemisorption of CO2 on biochar or NH3 toxicity induced by
the large amount of digestate appliedin the experiment (30
$\%)$ or can be combination of all effects. Surprisingly, a
repeated experiment with same butaged digestate did not show
such negative priming.On the other hand, the fate of applied
organic contaminants to biomixtures depends on several
factors likesoil properties and climatic conditions as well
as biological degradation. To analyze the degradation
potentialof the different soil/amendment mixtures a
degradation study was performed to determine the effects of
biocharand digestate in different mixing rates on the
metabolization behavior of the studied pesticides, and to
identifyand quantify the metabolites derived during the
degradation process. The results from the 14C Bentazone
studyindicate that 5 $\%$ digestate and 5 $\%$ biochar
mixture showed highest (nearly 15 $\%)$ and 1 $\%$ biochar
lowest rateof mineralization (1 $\%),$ whereby highest
microbial activity was measured in the soil/digestate
mixture.},
