We calculated the collection eficiency of vertical, sticky cylinders for spores released continuously and steadily, and for spores released intermittently when the wind exceeded a certain speed. We tested these calculations in the field by trapping on cylinders of different diameters Lycopodium spores released steadily from an artificial source, spores of Erysiphe graminis blown from a barley crop and Lycopodium spores blown from a flat plate or a short crop. The collection efficiency E of vertical sticky cylinders depends on wind speed and the average efficiency for an experiment was obtained by averaging E over all speeds during spore release. -from Authors
