Abstract
Calculations, based on Fuchs' (1959) formula, of evaporation rates of water droplets freely falling through air are compared with those of w ater-based pesticide droplets measured by Dennison and Wedding (1984) in a wind tunnel. Results indicate that calculations of evaporation ra tes of water droplets, are not significantly different from measuremen ts of that of water-based pesticide droplets under conditions of 20 de grees C and 20% relative humidity, but different under other measureme nt conditions.
