The relationship between particle size and foliage injury was shown in work with liquefied gas aerosol formulations of hexaethyl tetraphosphate for greenhouse applications (I). Particles larger than 20 microns diameter injured some varieties of foliage. Increasing pressure and using smaller nozzles lowered the mass median diameter but did not eliminate the maximum sized particles. The problem was finally solved with a low-concentration formulation, in which the particles larger than 20 microns in diameter could be eliminated.

These results appeared to be inconsistent with the general experience in translation of greenhouse application rates to field conditions. One of several possible explanations was that FMC 55626 could be susceptible to microbial degradation. As shown in Table VI, microbial degradation does appear to be a factor. In autoclaved field soil, barnyardgrass and velvetleaf were readily controlled at 0.5 kg/ha whereas, in non-autoclaved soil, there was essentially no control at this rate. 

Responding to the toxicity problem of plastics in greenhouse applications, the Dutch horticultural industry developed a test for screening. Plastics that pass the test qualify as safe horticultural plastics and... 

A summary of polymers and their blends used for greenhouse applications are presented in Table 5.1. The EVA/LDPE blends show superior UV resistance as compared to LLDPE or LLDPE/LDPE blends (50/50). Additionally, the EVA also serves as infrared or thermic barrier film.
