A rain tower and wind tunnel for studying the dispersal of plant pathogens by rain and wind
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Walklate, P.J.; McCartney, H. A.; Bainbridge, A.; Creighton, N.F.; Hirst, J.M.; Lacey, M.E.; Legg, B.J. (1986-12)The rain tower/wind tunnel complex at Rothamsted consists of a rain tower (height 11 m, cross-section 1 m2) linked to the upwind end of a wind tunnel (length 12 m, cross-section 1 m2), which may be operated in either an ... -
The role of rain in dispersal of pathogen inoculum
Fitt, Bruce D.L.; McCartney, H.A.; Walklate, P.J. (1989)The importance of rain in the dispersal of micro-organisms was first demon strated in the 1880s, in the classic studies of Pierre Miquel (Figure 1) on the microflora of the Pare Montsouris in Paris. Collected rainwater ... -
Vertical dispersal of plant pathogens by splashing. Part II : experimental study of the relationship between raindrop size and the maximum splash height
Walklate, P.J.; McCartney, H.A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (1989-03)This paper describes a simple experimental test of the theoretical relationship between raindrop diameter and maximum splash height proposed by Walklate (1989). This relationship contains two empirical parameters to model ...
