Spray Amounts
Figured Out
If a weed spray recommendation
calls for 10 gallons of material per
acre, how do you know if you are
applying the correct amount?
Chances are good you don't, says
E. M. Nelson, Wasco county ex
tension agent, and that may be
the reason for poor results.
Here's Nelson's solution to the
problem Set the spray outfit's
pressure regulator at the required
pressure with all nozzles operating.
Use clear water. Set the tractor
throttle at the proper spraying
speed and spray a measured 40
rods. '
Measure the amount of water
used and multiply this number in
gallons bv 66 and divide the figure
bv the number of feet in the spray
swath. The result will be the gal
lons per acre applied at the par
ticular throttle and pressure set
ting. For example, if the amount
sprayed while traveling the 40 rods
is 5 gallons, multiply 5 by 66
which will give 330. Then, if the
sprnv swath is 27 feet, divide 330
bv 27. Thus, the sprayer is aoplv
irig 12.2 gallons per acre. Forty
rods, incidentally. Is 660 feet.
