Caution:
Do not use plant protection agents that tend to gum up or con-
geal
– they have a negative effect on spraying.
18.1. Determining the amount of spray liquid needed
The amount of spray liquid needed, which depends on the re-
spective culture, the type of plant protection and the effective-
ness of the plant protection agent, can be found in the instruc-
tions for the plant protection agent.
•
The working width (in meters) corresponds to the row width per
tunnel.
•
The approximate driving speed (km/h) can be read from the
speedometer of the towing vehicle.
In order to take into account any slippage in the drive wheels,
this should be checked directly on the field.
A driving speed of 5 to 7 km/h is recommended for spraying.
18.2. Checking the driving speed
•
Mark off a path with a length of 100 m.
•
Select a gear and engine speed to achieve the desired speed.
•
Drive the marked distance and record the time needed.
•
Calculate the driving speed or use the conversion table.
•
Adapt the RPM, if necessary, and repeat the procedure until the
desired driving speed has been attained. Record the results in
writing.
