In one embodiment, drops of agricultural input materials are formed for spraying on agricultural fields. In another embodiment, nanofibers of materials such as chitosan or metals are formed. In another embodiment seeds are planted with gel. In another embodiment particles carrying desired agricultural inputs with modified release characteristics are 10 delivered.FIG.1 10 SET PHYSICAL AND ENERGY CHARACTERISTICS OF FEEDSTOCK MATERIAL, KINETIC ENERGY 12 FLUID AND FIXTURE OUTLET MOVE FEEDSTOCK MATERIAL TO FIXTURE OUTLET AT A FLOW RATE OVER AN AREA AND WITH A THICKNESS RELATED TO THE KINETIC ENERGY FLUID CHARACTERISTICS /-- 14 FOR THE DESIRED SHAPE FORCE KINETIC ENERGY FLUID AGAINST FEEDSTOCK MATERIAL AT PRESELECTED ANGLE TO OR PARALLEL TO FEEDSTOCK MATERIAL 16 WITH FLOW RATE AND PRESSURE RELATED TO CHARACTERISTICS OF FEEDSTOCK DISTRIBUTING THE SHAPED DROPS, FIBERS, MIST, VAPOR AND/OR PARTICLES - 18 FIG. 2 20 22 32 404 30 28 42 38 24 tZ42 3
