CONSOLE CALIBRATION
1. CALCULATING "BOOM CAL"
1) Broadcast Spraying
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips
times the spacing. Write these boom widths down for future reference when
programming the Console.
FIGURE 7
2) Band Spraying
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips
by the spacing. Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast
Rate by Band Width in inches [cm] divided by Spacing in inches [cm].
EXAMPLE: Broadcast Rate = 20 GPA [200 lit/ha]
Spacing = 40 inches [100 cm]
Band Width = 14 inches [40 cm]
Adjusted Applied Rate =
GPA x Band Width
Spacing
= 20 x 14 = 7 GPA
40
= [200] x [40] = [80 lit/ha]
[100]
