Calculations:
Barrier Spray-
Label: Permethrin (57%) Diluted 1-9
Application Rate=Up to 90 Oz./linear mile traveled
@ 5 MPH (.083 mi/min) vehicle speed the time to travel 1 mile =
1 mile/.083 mi/min = 12.05 min/linear mile
(12.05 min/linear mile) times (Flowrate) = 90 oz/linear mile
Flowrate @ 5 MPH= 90oz/linear mi =
7.5 oz/min
12.05 min/lin mi
Larvacide-
Label: BTI (1.6%)
Application Rate=Up to 1 pint per acre (150' swath x 287 ft = 1 acre)
= 2.3 gallons linear mile
Time to drive 287 ft @ 5 MPH (440 ft/min) vehicle speed = 287 ft. = .65 minutes
440 ft/min
Flowrate @ 5 MPH = 16 oz (1 pint) = 24.6 oz/min.
.65 min.
Flowrate @ 10 MPH = 16 oz (1 pint) =
49.2 oz/min.
.325 min.
