The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

In agricultural spraying, where discrete targets and nontargets are present in a localized region, high spatial resolution of liquid deposition is essential for selective treatment. Microspraying with small jets can provide high resolution in spray dose and position. Pulsed microspray jets were created with various orifice sizes and duration of liquid emission and deposited with various orifice-to-target distances. Formulations included surfactants that increase area covered onto plant surfaces for increased herbicide efficacy, and polymers to inhibit splash during deposition. Kromekote cards were used as the deposition target. Image analysis measured deposition area and centimeter-scale splashing, i.e., "microdrift" from the pulsed jets. Liquid properties were measured; Reynolds (Re), Weber (We), and Ohnesorge (Oh) numbers were calculated. Formulations containing polyethylene oxide polymer were more effective at reducing microdrift than polyacrylamide polymer, and silicone surfactant increased spreading compared to an oil-based surfactant.
