ResumoAbstract Sprays composed of uniformly‐sized drops were applied at different drop speeds to barley and either radish or mustard. Retention by the two broad‐leafed species showed no major response to changes in drop speed, nor to the presence or absence of a surfactant. In contrast, the barley retained less spray when there was no surfactant and when the drops possessed higher momenta. The application of spray dropsat higher speeds would therefore appear to provide a basis for the development of selective retention techniques.
