Concern has been expressed about the excessive use of pesticides and their effect on the environment, yet they are essential components of most pest management programmes. Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) is an approach to the judicious use of pesticide sprays, by applying minimal quantities to maximize efficiency. This book provides a comprehensive review of CDA, showing how it works and how it might be more widely adopted. Case studies are included.
