Physical and chemical characteristics of abraded seed coating particles

As a result of the dressing process, storage conditions, handling, and transport before the drilling and breaking of seeds, differing amounts of dust particles can be produced during seed drilling. In this study, more information about the dust drift risk in Belgium and the chemical and physical characteristics of particles abraded from pesticide-coated seeds was gathered to better understand the complex phenomenon of dust drift and for the development of predictive dust drift models.status: publishe
