Surfactant-induced enhancement of droplet adhesion in superhydrophobic soybean (Glycine max L.) leaves

This study performed with soybean (Glycine max L.), one of the most important crops for human and animal nutrition, demonstrates that changes in the leaf surface structure can increase the adhesion of applied droplets, even on superhydrophobic leaves, to reduce undesirable soil contamination by roll...
