Abstract
The full value of modern pesticides can be realised only by use of application methods which bring them effectively and economically in contact with their targets. Yet after half a century of the use of synthetic pesticides understanding of the formation and structure of sprays, and the behaviour of droplets on impaction, is still far from adequate. Different techniques, although widely accepted, can lead to conflicting conclusions.
