- Summary
- COI synopsis: Airborne sprays are renowned for being indiscriminate. A puff of wind and the spray can infest a neighbour’s crop, or the ground, but leaves the crops untouched. But if that spray is given an electrostatic charge, it not only breaks up into very fine spray indeed, but it positively leaps towards the plants. A new electric rain which guarantees that a spray will end up only where it’s aimed.
