Development and implementation of a laboratory spray device and rainfall simulator for retention research using small amounts of agroformulations

BACKGROUND Rainfall greatly affects the retention of foliar‐applied agroformulations. Improving their resistance to wash‐off is therefore of great importance in spray applications. When developing such formulations, small‐scale laboratory assays are generally required. A set‐up for retention studies...
