Leaf surfaces provide an important interface for various physical, biochemical, physiological, biological and ecological processes. Different pathogens, pests and pesticides interact with leaf surfaces differently. It is important to have a better understanding of diverse leaf surface characteristics and the nature of surface-mediated interactions with pathogens, pests and pesticides. Such knowledge has assisted PPCNZ to devise improved formulation and application strategies to enhance efficiency of pesticide sprays to a range of crops. PPCNZ is developing a database of leaf and fruit surface characteristics of major crop and weed species. Leaf surface information at the macroscopic (e.g. roughness arising from size, density, alignment and distribution of stomata and trichomes) as well as microscopic scale (e.g. roughness arising from the structure and organisation of wax crystals) are incorporated in the database. Static contact angles of aqueous acetone droplets (20% and 50% v/v) on plant surfaces are provided as an indicator of surface wettability. The inclusion and use of fractal dimensions of different leaf surfaces and canopies as a numerical index representing surface roughness and canopy complexity, respectively, are also being investigated.
