- Intervention effect Air inclusion nozzles could reduce vertical and horizontal off-target drift of hydrogen cyanamide airblast sprays on kiwifruit compared with conventional cone nozzles.
- Intervention effect Use of AI nozzles did not adversely affect deposits on target kiwifruit canes.
- Intervention effect Use of AI nozzles maintained the biological efficacy of the budbreaking agent on kiwifruit.
