A curvilinear thin film model is used to simulate the motion of droplets on a virtual leaf surface, with a view to better understand the retention of agricultural sprays on plants. The governing model, adapted from Roy et al. (2002 J. Fluid Mech. 454

Leaf wettability can be a barrier to retention of agrichemical sprays. Adjuvants are used to modify leaf wetting by sprays to enhance retention. A previous study developed a model that accurately predicted nonadjuvant formulation wetting (contact ang

Leaf wettability is a major hurdle for retention of agrichemical sprays which is combated, in part, by using adjuvant modified formulations. Scientists must understand the properties of the leaf surface and the formulation that govern wetting, to int

Background A suite of plant retention spray models has been developed to simulate spray retention using virtual surfaces (either single leaves or whole plants) and their outputs compared with experimental data for the equivalent spray scenarios. Resu

Dye tracers allow researchers to optimise spray application equipment and spray formulations by quantifying the amount of agrichemical spray retained and/or quantifying the area covered (including the size and number of spray deposits). This paper di

Hypothesis: Evaporation of surfactant droplets on leaves is complicated due to the complex physical and chemical properties of the leaf surfaces. However, for certain leaf surfaces for which the evaporation process appears to follow the standard cons

A track-sprayer combined with a high-speed camera were used to visualize and identify droplet impaction outcomes for three formulations (water, 0.1% LI 700® (lecithin, a mixture of soya oils, propionic acid and surfactants) in water and 0.1% Pulse®

BACKGROUND Leaf surfaces can have similar wettability, while their roughness and polarity may be very different. This may affect agrochemical bioefficacy, hence there is a need to characterise leaf surface polarity and roughness separately. This pape
