15. Operating the LIPCO GSG-NV
Caution:
Do not use plant protection agents that tend to gum up or con-
geal
– they have a negative effect on spraying.
15.1. 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.
15.2. 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.
