For
AREA COVERED (ha),
= Tank Volume (litres) +
Spray Application Rate (l/ha)
eg.
1500 ÷ 400
= 3.75 Ha
For
CHEMICAL RATES
expressed in Litres or kg per 100
litres of water (water volume), use the following formula:
Chemicals Required (Litres) =
Tank Volume (Litres) x
Recommended Chemical Rate (L/100 litres)
100
eg.
1500 x 3 ÷ 100
= 45 litres
PROCEED TO SPRAY
Once the pre-operation checklist on
page 43 has been
completed, and chemical mixture is in the tank, proceed
to spray:
• Anyone operating this sprayer must be conversant
with the Croplands Safety manual.
• Spray operations should be done in conjunction with
an agronomist / spray manager / someone skilled in
the art of spraying and operating machinery.
The spray manager will have predetermined the job
requirements, such as
• The block to be sprayed, and hence row width and any
special instruction on boom / fan setup
• Operating speed (often around 8 Kph)
• Application rate (for example 500 L / Hectare)
• The nozzles to be used / which spray rings / Tier
• Spray pressures to be used (often around 5~8 bar)
• PTO and Spray pump rpm (often between 450 & 540)
Most of these parameters should be loaded into the Fusion
controller whilst back at base / filling the sprayer.
Operating Pointers
• Always drive to the conditions taking into account the
load, the terrain and the weather.
• In mixed terrain, spray the flat ground before spraying
the hills.
• Before engaging any hydraulics for the first time,
double check that the pressure return lines are properly
connected.
