This week we’re joined in studio by spraying experts Twinky Estes and Bryson Whitmon of Nutrien Ag Solutions. We thoroughly discuss the benefits and techniques of sprayer calibration and the nuances of spraying effectively. There are so many benefits to spraying but so many confusing questions. We ask about calibrating the sprayer, boomless vs. booms, how to mix, cleaning the tank, water pH, speed of spraying, gallons per acre and per minute, safety, when to spray and much more. If your managing a property and considering using herbicides you’ll find this one very informative. 

Listen, Learn, Enjoy. 

Determine Nozzle Spacing in inches 

Ex. 25ft spray pattern boomless nozzle is 300”. Most boom sprayers are 20” nozzle spacing Determine you MPH (Miles Per Hour) you’re going to apply at. Catch water for 15 seconds. Take those fluid ounces x 4 to get ounces per minutes. Divide ounces per minutes by 128 to get GPM (Gallons per Minute) 

GPA = GPM x 5940 / MPH x Width
