Before using the Neo DC, the sprayer should be calibrated using water. This is
important as accurate calibration ensures that the correct dose of product is
applied. Poor calibration can result in either over-dosing or under-dosing both of which
are wasteful.
The process of calibration involves measuring the three inter-related factors
which determine the volume of spray applied by the spareflow rate, band width
and walking speed.
Total Spray Volume (l/ha) = 10000 x Flow Rate (l/min)
Walking Speed (m/min) x Band Width (ms)
Band Width (m)
3.
Measure
your
Walking
Speed
in
meters per minutes
(m/min) by measuring
how many metres you
walk in one minute. As
a general rule one large
pace is approximately
one metre.
4. Measure
Band Width
in
meters (m) by spraying on
dry ground or concrete, and
measuring the width of the
spray pattern produced. It
is important that the nozzle
height from the ground is
the same during spraying. If
spraying one row at a time, this
will be the distance between the
rows.
