Unit Canopy Row
Unit Canopy Row (UCR) is a calibration method based on the height and
width of the canopy and the row length rather than area. UCR takes into
account the three dimensions of a fruit tree or vine.
UCR is defined as a unit of canopy measuring 1 metre wide x 1 metre
high x 100 metre long. Future labelling of pesticides may include
rate/UCR.
How to control canopy
The Controller can be set up for mistblower to handle UCR. This is done
by your local HARDI dealer. Please contact your HARDI service centre if
the Controller is not set up for UCR. Once done, the 3rd line of the screen
will show crop width and height and the application unit will be UCR.
The crop width and height can be changed during the season or on the
go with the arrow keys to match the canopy size:
To increase of canopy height, in steps of 25 cm
To decrease of canopy height, in steps of 25 cm
To increase of canopy width, in steps of 25 cm
To decrease of canopy width, in steps of 25 cm
