Creator Butler, D R
 
Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description Water affects moat leaf fungal direares at some stage in their
Ute-cycle. Estimates of leaf wetness persistence are important
to epidemiology and method8 for providing routine astimatea are sought.
In certain climates good relationship8 can br found between
tha time that wetnera rtarts and its durationr but usually the
situation is le8r predictable. Wetnear duration after rain is
dominated by the amount of water held on leaves and the way that
it is held (e.g. a8 discrete drops or as a film). The amount of
water on the surface will depend not only on the amount of rain,
but on the interception efficiency and leaf water holding
capcity. These values depend on rainfall intensity and wind
speed.
