Appendix A –Broadcast Spray Calibration Tables
Below are some guidelines to help you calibrate your tow behind broadcast sprayer. This is a very important step in
operating the tow behind broadcast sprayer such that too much or too little chemical may be applied.
1.
Using
Table 1,
find a table that corresponds with the chemical manufacturer's suggested application rate (litres
per hectare, litres per 1000 sq. m.)
2. Find the application rate that is closest to the chemical manufacturer's recommendations.
3.
The speed to drive your ATV is listed below the application rates.

Example:
155 litres divided by 209 litres/hectare = 0.74 hectare of coverage per tank.
