Abstract
Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) leaves were sprayed to runoff using a s election of pesticides, and subsequent spray retention was evaluated b y weight, Timing, cultivar, leaf surface, and leaf type significantly influenced spray retention, Spray retention correlated significantly a nd positively with leaf hair density. The importance of these differen ces is considered in relation to the possible efficiency of the pestic ide application process in apple orchards.
