Formulation interaction with leaves

This manner of representing uptake as Jt vs M/A (at different time intervals) can provide a different, and mechanistically more useful, perspective of spray residue and leaf cuticle interactions. If uptake (Jt ) is presented in moles mm vs initial dose (M/A) also in moles mm then as illustrated in Figure 6 (left) there is a linear relationship over a wide range of initial dosages, with this a.i. and these formulations. At lower initial dosages, this relationship is curvilinear and is seen to vary with different formulations (Figure 6, right). The extent of the deviation from linearity will also depend upon the time interval after which uptake is measured, as rates of uptake vary more with shorter postapplication intervals.
