Aerosols in Agriculture

Abstract

Both Soviet and foreign experience has shown that crop storage is impossible without using chemical protective agents. However, every chemical method of controlling parasites yields the best results only when all the necessary agrothechnical measures are taken for growing and storing agricultural produce properly. Chemical agents are applied by spraying, dusting, and gas decontamination. The aerosol method is the most productive of all. In agriculture aerosols are used in the form of fogs - small drops 1-50 microns in size in which pesticide is dissolved.
