a Field enclosures are separated by 2 m. Colouration indicates Mospilan®SG—treatment based on contamination estimates. Drawing of the field enclosure created with AUTODESK AutoCAD 2023 (v.37) and Fusion 360 (v.16.5.0.2083). b Treatment choice (schematic drawing) is based on literature estimates: 100% = typical field rate of 250 g/ha in 600 l of water, 30% = contamination estimate for 1 m field distance36 (overspray + spray drift), 0.15% = contamination estimate for 20 m field distance37 (spray drift). Panel b created in BioRender. Rissmamm, S. (2025) https://BioRender.com/j85t891.
