Soil inputs produced by rainfall waters washed off through a Ribeiro vineyard (Galicia, northw
esternSpain) confirmed that levels recovered are <5% of the added fungicides. Laboratory studies showedthat some fungicides were degraded in the ODS cartridge used for the collection of fungicides washedoff by rainfall. Procymidone wash-off data obtained in the vineyard can be explained by a first-orderrate mass transfer model. A procedure for the collection of wash-off waters based on octadecylsilanesolid phase extraction, followed by an analytical method of reverse-phase liquid chromatographywith diode array detection is presented for the evaluation of fungicide inputs into soils after beingwashed off vineyards by rainfalls. Quality parameters of the analytical method yielded good precision(RSD < 10%) and low detection limits (ranging between 1 and 21
