ABSTRACT:
A method of supplemental irrigation of substantial areas, for supplying water to plants and for conserving water already in the plants and in the soil, by placing in the atmosphere over the area a fog of water particles which particles are of a size such that they tend to settle rather slowly. They will thereby have a residence time in the air around the plants, and can drift appreciable distances with slow air movement. According to the preferred method, the majority of the droplets will have a diameter between about 10 and about 200 microns, the mass median diameter being about 50 microns. The method comprehends generating this fog and, if necessary, blowing it to areas which require it.
