Abstract

The equipment requested is for work in two proposed areas relating to: (i) the behaviour of droplets formed with conventional agricultural spray nozzles operating with a range of spray liquids, including emulsions and suspensions, both in the air and when they impact on a target leaf surface; (ii) as in (i) but with droplets that have air inclusions, resulting from the characteristics of the spray generation system. The research will aim to quantify conditions which result in droplet retention, bounce or shatter and relate these to the physical characteristics of the original spray liquid, the spray formation and droplet transport processes from the application equipment and the nature of the liquid/target interface.
