Spraying, planting and spreading

Sprayer setting (flow per nozzle, spray volume and pressure), spray mix preparation per tank, planter setting with population and seeds per meter, and fertilizer spreading uniformity.

Sprayer

Calculate the flow per nozzle, the working pressure and the area per tank for the desired spray volume at the given speed and boom spacing.

Nozzle flow, pressure and tanks

Spray mix per tank

Calculate the amount of product for the sprayer tank, the area covered per tank and the dose per 100 litres of spray mix.

Product per tank and per 100 L

Sowing

Calculate the plants and seeds per metre of row, seed per hectare and the spacing between seeds from the target population, germination and emergence.

Plants and seeds per meter

Active ingredient

Convert the active ingredient dose in g/ha into the amount of commercial product in L or kg per hectare, and the reverse, based on the concentration on the label.

Active ingredient dose in product, and the reverse

Distribution uniformity

Calculate the coefficient of variation and the Christiansen uniformity coefficient (CUC) from the masses collected in 8 trays during one pass of the fertilizer spreader.
