After spraying of water-soluble particles on a crop (komatsuna). 小松菜に水溶性微粒子を散布していた後は？
Ammonium sulfate particles deposited on the leaf deliquesced, allowing ions such as SO42− in the solution to be absorbed into the leaf. サブミクロン硫酸アンモニウム粒子が葉表面に堆積し、脱離溶液中のSO42−などのイオンが葉に吸収される可能性が高い。

Simultaneous deposition of submicron aerosols onto both surfaces of a plate substrate by electrostatic forces We demonstrate one-step deposition of submicrometer-sized particles suspended in the gas-phase onto a plate type substrate using an electrostatic-assisted spray system. The particles were deposited on plate-type metallic surfaces, on both front and rear sides of the substrate. This “both-side”…
