6.20 HELICIDE MICRO GRANULATOR
(OPTIONAL)
In order to adjust the distribution of the
helicide micro granulator, it is necessary
to know the row spacing, the quantity of
product to be distributed per hectare and
its specic weight.
It should be taken into account that the-
re is a wide variety of products, each one
with its particular density and granulo-
metry. Therefore, precise adjustments are
dicult to achieve.
Micro granulated helicide can be placed
in two ways, as required:
- SEMI-SUPERFICIAL (1, Fig. 6.138).
- SUPERFICIAL (2, Fig. 6.138).
If the specic weight of the helicide to be used is die-
rent from the ones in the dosing tables, apply the fo-
llowing formula to calculate the Kg/ha which are going
to be spread:
WHERE:
Z = Kg/ha which are going to be spread.
V = Kg/ha in the table depending on the dosing adjust-
ment, the row spacing and the helicide’s specic
weight shown in the table.
Weight
T
= specic weight shown in the table depen-
ding on the selected value “V”.
Weight
R
= actual specic weight of the helicide.
In case to spread helicide at a dierent row spa-
cing from the ones in the dosing tables, apply
the following formula:
WHERE:
Z = Kg/ha which are going to be spread.
V = Kg/ha in the table depending on the dosing adjustment, the row spacing and the he-
licide’s specic weight shown in the table.
