Funded Activity Summary

Minimising environmental and public health risk of pesticide application through understanding the droplet-canopy interface. Pesticides are essential tools for agricultural industries in most Australian cropping systems. Accurate placement of pesticide droplets onto plant surfaces is the key step in guaranteeing high quality food production, while loss of droplets to air and soil are inefficiencies leading to environmental and public health risks. Innovations in plant architecture informatics will be used to develop an improved understanding of droplet/plant canopy interactions that will be validated through wind tunnel experimentation. This research will result in a risk assessment tool that can be applied generally to controlled spray applications of pesticides.
