Abstract
When an insecticide is dusted or sprayed on plants its efficiency depends not only on the inherent toxicity of the chemical but on the form and persistency of the deposit. Many factors determine the fate of the particles that reach the treated surface, and it is essential to have a sound knowledge of the principles at work in developing methods and materials that will ensure the best possible coverage and protection in the field.
