explain the purpose and importance of calibration.
the purpose of calibration is to ensure that your equipment delivers the correct rate of pesticide uniformity to the Target site. the importance is to have effective Pest Control protect human health and the environment protect non-target animals from poisoning preventing waste of pesticide and complying with the law.
list what variables affect the spray rate and how they do so.
nozzle flow rate, flow rate deals with hot at what rate the pesticide will come out of the nozzle.. ground speed, will determine how fast do you move and at what flow rate will the pesticide come out.
identify the three controlling factors that determine a uniform application making a backpack application on a percentage basis.
the controlling factors of making uniform application and nozzle size the pressure used and the time the nozzles kept at the Target area.
outline the steps needed to make an application on a pereria basis with a backpack sprayer.
measures of suitable test area fill the sprayer with water to level Azz recognize spray to promote the are using the same now as a pressure refill the tank with your is in a water level determine your spray rate Check the label see if you within 5% of the recommended spray rate determine amount SSI needed for each gallon of water.
list the four basic stages in calibrating a broadcast sprayer.
...
list the steps in calibrating a hose reel sprayer.
determine required flow rate, check to see if the nozzle flow rate is consistent with the desired flow rate, make adjustments to operating pressure or spray your ground speed to get the spray rate within desired rate, determine how much pesticide and water you need to add to the spray tank.
describe how to determine how much pesticide product and or spray mix you need per acre or a thousand square feet, tankful, an entire treated area.
amount of product equals acres to be treated x amount of product per acre. gallons of spray mix needed equals acres to be treated * calibrated spray rate. acres per tank full equals tank capacity gallons / spray rate gallons per acre. amount of pesticide per tank full equality acres per tank full x amount of product per acre.
list and explain the variables that affect the product rate of granular applicator.
the Prada creative granule applicators depend on the size of Mentor metering opening the speed of the agitator or rotor travel speed the bumpiness of the application site info ability of the granules.
