DeterminingApplicationRate
Usetheexampleresultsofthecalculatedspeed,spraywidth,
andnozzlecapacitytodeterminetheapplicationrate.
Note:Theapplicationratemayalsobedeterminedby
usingtheNozzleFlowRateChart(page37),alongwiththe
chemicalmanufacturer’slabelofrecommendation.
Theexamplesbelowarebasedonthefollowinginformation:
•Averagegroundspeed=8.4kph(5.2mph)
•Spraywidth=2.7m(108inches)
•Numberofnozzles=2
•Nozzlecapacity=3.0L/min(.79gpm)
