✦ Synopsis

The droplet-sizes and drift produced by sprays containing dilute oil-in-water emulsions of various vegetable and mineral oil adjuvants were measured in wind-tunnel experiments. When compared with water or a surfactant solution, both types of oil adjuvant reduced the proportion of small driftable droplets and, hence, reduced measured spray drift. Vegetable oils were more effective at drift reduction than the mineral oil. Spray drift tended to increase with increasing oil concentration and decreasing emulsi®er content.

Measurements of the ultrasonic velocity as a function of time (at \(6.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) have been used to monitor the kinetics of crystallization of oil droplets in \(n\)-hexadecane-in-water emulsions containing a mixture of solid and liquid droplets. Crystallization is induced in liquid drop
