How to read the calibration charts
Select the required volume per hectare in the column
corresponding to the spacing between rows.
Calculating the application rate per hectare:
- For insecticides:
Divide the product quantity to apply per hectare by the
density of the non packed product.
Example:
Required application rate: 10 kg (22 lb) / ha.
Density of the non packed product: 1.5
Volume / ha = 10 / 1.5 = 6.66 l (1.76 US gal) / ha
- For anti-slug pellets:
Divide the product quantity to apply per hectare by the
correction factor of the product used.
Example:
Required application rate: 5kg (11 lb) / ha.
Correction factor for HELARION: 0.40
Volume / ha = 5 / 0.4 = 12.5 l (3.30 US gal) / ha
The values indicated in the calibration charts are
given in litre per hectare.
- Correction factor for HELARION: 0.40
- Correction factor for MESUROL: 0.43
For a precise adjustment of the
microgranulator, check the density of the
products used.
