Agriculture

Aerial application of a pesticide dust or spray over a crop (crop dusting).

In agriculture, dusting (crop dusting) is the application of a pesticide, historically as a dry dust, over a field, classically from low-flying aircraft. Payne (1998), in Crop Protection, reviews developments in aerial pesticide application. Here dusting is the aerial treatment of a crop, not the powder development of a fingerprint.[1]

Unit
One aerial application pass over a crop.
Recovery means
Identify pesticide applied over a field, classically by low aircraft.
Measured by
By deposition, coverage, and drift of the applied material.

Forensic Science

Applying powder to reveal a latent fingerprint.

In forensic science, dusting is the development of a latent fingerprint by applying a fine powder that adheres to the residue, making the ridge pattern visible for lifting. Boonyaras and colleagues (2023), in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series, develop fluorescent powders for latent-fingerprint detection. Here dusting is powder development of a print, not the aerial treatment of a crop.[2]

Unit
One developed latent print (powder adhered to residue).
Recovery means
Identify powder applied to make a latent fingerprint visible.
Measured by
By ridge-detail clarity and contrast of the developed print.
