Depostion aids are widely known throughout the agriculture landscape. However, there effects on crop canopy penetration are not well defined in current literature. Therefore, preliminary experiments were intiated in 2014 to evaluate the effects of depostion aids on crop canopy penetration. Stands were built to allow for mylar cards to be placed at four specific locations within the crop canopy. Once removed, samples were analyzed using a fluorometer by comparing them to samples previously removed from the tank mix used in applications. Experiments were conducted using cotton and soybeans in Starkville, and Brooksville MS.
