In the application of fungicides by oily fog 10 to 15 lit./ha. of liquid are used. The fog contains the active ingredients in the normal dosage per ha., but an oily liquid is used as a carrier, to which inert minerals have been added. The distribution of the fog, by pneumatic or rotary equipment, is partly indirect since the wind and natural turbulence are made use of. There are various economic advantages and a lesser risk of the fungicides being washed off by rains.
