How To Test for Insecticide Rates
Measure out a distance of 328 feet (100m).
Set the sprocket combination to: A=12, B=30, C=12.
(This ratio = 0.24 or the number of Microsem shaft
rotations for 1 drive wheel rotation.)
Remove the hoses from a 2 outlet hopper, placing a bag or
other container to catch the product. Put the product into
the Microsem hopper. Engage the Microsem and drive
forward the pre-measured distance. Weigh the amount of
product caught in the container and convert to grams.
Ounces x 31.103481 = grams
Inches x 2.54 = cm
Use the following formula:
Output = (10 * quantity weighted (g) )/ (Inter-rows (cm)
x 2)
Example:
Inter-rows = 60 cm (23.63")
Quantity weighed = 60 grams (1.929 oz)
If 8 kg/ha or 8 lb/acre is required, choose the ratio
8/5 * 0.24 = 0.384
A= 12, B= 18, C= 12
If 11 kg/ha or 11 lb/acre is required, choose the ratio
11/5 * 0.24 = 0.528
A= 12, B= 22, C= 20
Output= (10*60)/ (60 * 2) = 5 kg/ha or 5 lb/acre
From the following chart, find the closest sprocket
combination to achieve appropriate lbs/acre.
NOTE: Because of the large variety of insecticides
and its density and irregularity of granulars, it
is impossible to provide an exact chart. This
is a close approximation only.
