Proceedings of the New Zealand Plant Protection Conference, 1997 Research from 1989 to 1996 into drift from air blast orchard spraying, principally in kiwifruit blocks with live shelter, is reviewed. A mass balance study showed 96% of applied vinclozolin could be accounted for with 75% on the target crop, 19% on the ground or shelter and about 2% leaving the block as drift.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...

Influence of speed and angle of spraying on area coverage and drift in the potato production [PDF]
Journal of Central European AgricultureThis study investigated the influence of travel speed (6 and 10 km/h) and spray angle (-30°, 0° and +30°) on leaf surface coverage (LSC), on the area not treated (drift) and on droplet size. The leaf surface coverage, size and number of droplets, as well

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Polymeric Drift Control Adjuvants for Agricultural Spraying [PDF]
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 2016 The movement of a pesticide or herbicide to an off‐target site during agricultural spraying can cause injury to wildlife, plants and contamination of surface water. This phenomenon is known as spray drift and can be controlled by spraying during favorable environmental conditions, and by using low drift nozzles and drift control adjuvants (DCAs ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Scandium (Sc)‐doped AlCoCrFeMo HEA coatings are fabricated via flame spraying with 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% Sc additions. Among these, the HEA‐Sc0.3 coating exhibits the highest corrosion resistance, indicated by a more positive corrosion potential and lower current density.
