[en] This video aims to get an insight on the mechanisms involved in retention of pesticides on plants. Using high magnification lenses, high speed camera and led back-light, the elaboration of retention on plant leaves is better understood. The behavior of different drops diameters and speed is observed and linked to the physics behind. The video is dedicated to plant protection products users and should give them a clear understanding of the relevant parameters to be mastered to avoid losses and reduce polution.
