a. droplet size chart
b. stopwatch
c. measuring tape
d. wooden toothpick
e. calibrated container
f. magnifying glass
g. flowmeter
h. flagging tape
stopwatch

For sprayer calibration,
which four factors?
swath width,
size of treatment area,
travel speed,
sprayer pressure
nozzle height,
size of treatment area,
travel speed,
swath width
tank capacity,
travel speed,
swath width,
flow rate
tank capacity, travel speed, swath width, flow rate
.

.
Which will help you
when determining
the amount of
pesticide needed for
a given application?
calculate nozzle output
measure the area being treated
ensure tank holds correct amount
measure the area being treated
.
.
Increasing travel speed =
breaks spray up
into finer droplets
alters the pressure
of the system
reduces application rate
reduces application rate
Changing nozzle size =
breaks spray up
into finer droplets
alters the pressure
of the system
reduces application rate
alters the pressure of the system
Increasing output pressure =
breaks spray up
into finer droplets
alters the pressure
of the system
reduces application rate
breaks spray up into finer droplets
Three variables to
properly calibrate
dry application?
output rate, hopper size,
formulation type
swath width, output rate,
travel speed
formulation type,
travel speed
output rate
swath width, output rate, travel speed
Rate controllers help
increase the accuracy
of applications only if
nozzles can _
handle a sufficient
range of pressures
preserve droplet size
if pressure changes
prevent leaks when
pressure rises
handle a sufficient range of pressures
Where do rate
controllers get the
data they need to
adjust spray volume
accurately?
GPS units
nozzles
sensors
