Band Spraying:
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips
by the spacing. Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast
Rate by Band Width in inches [cm] divided by Spacing in inches [cm].

EXAMPLE:
Broadcast Rate
=
20 GPA [200 lit/ha]
Spacing
=
40 inches [100 cm]
Band Width
=
14 inches [40 cm]
Adjusted Applied Rate
=
GPA x Band Width
Spacing
=
20 x 14 = 7 GPA

=
[200] x [40] = [80 lit/ha]
