Contact angle of SeNPV OBs and four microencapsulated preparations. To determine the contact angles of the samples, diluted microcapsule formulations, and SeMNPV OBs were used as a control. The sample was dropped onto the surface of a cucumber leaves. The contact angle was measured using a contact angle meter. The contact angles of SeMNPV and microcapsule preparations varied, from small to large, in order as follows: PDA@CA-NPV < WP@CA-NPV < SeMNPV < CS@CA-NPV < CA-NPV.
