TREE CROPS - MACADAMIAS, CITRUS, PECANS - From litres per hectare to litres per minute.

As explained in the previous post, spreadsheets can't be inserted or attached. Here's the link showing calibration and determining the volume per planted hectare using a set of existing nozzles. 


The image below is the print out of the spreadsheet covering the mistblower calibration starting off with a pre-determined volume per planted hectare.  You still have to enter the data to determine speed and inter-row spacing.  Just send an email to chemiconteejet@gmail.com and I'll send you the files. 

In my opinion, this is the correct way to undertake spray-applications.  The problem is that farmers are sold spray-rigs with an ex-works set of nozzles which are suitable for spraying Olives, Vines, Apples and Pears etc.  They eventually discover that this is not a plug and play unit especially when it can't cope with big trees. 




Once you have the spreadsheet you fill in the essential data as marked with **. Nozzle tip flow rates are taken from the suppliers information.
