Interaction of surfactants with Prunus laurocerasus leaf surfaces: time-dependent recovery of wetting contact angles depends on physico-chemical properties of surfactants
BackgroundSurfactants are added to spray solutions because they significantly improve foliar uptake of active ingredients (AIs) into the leaves. It...
