Droplet size spectrum, velocity, angle and flow rate of pulse‐width‐modulated spray nozzles with adjuvants

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Optimizing PWM performance requires not only appropriate duty cycle selection, but also careful choice of adjuvant formulation tailored to each nozzle type. Drift control agents increased droplet size and reduced fine droplets, mitigating PWM‐induced variability. Decreasing the duty cycle consistently narrowed the spray angle.

Exclusion and Exposure: How Social Inequality and Marginalization Shape Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation in Rural Communities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change affects all individuals, regardless of wealth, social class, or religious background, though its impacts and adaptation strategies vary. While existing literature examines climate change adaptation based on farming categories, geographic regions, and cropping systems, limited research explores how social class shapes adaptation ...
