Figure 3. Numbers of splash droplets of different sizes falling on vertical strips (V) of water-sensitive paper at increasing heights (0–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40, 40–50 cm high) with increasing horizontal distance (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 cm) from an infected orange and relative percentages of the total numbers of droplets (5 mm incident drop).

Data were also collected using 2.5 mm incident drops, producing a similar pattern (data not shown). Symbols: <1 mm (solid circles), 1–2 mm (open circles), 2–3 mm (solid triangles).
