speed. Use the same gear, engine
RPM, and ground speed determined
when the application rate was
calibrated.

Adjust Ground Speed
It will be necessary to establish a travel
speed and then set the flow to give the
desired application rate. Always run at the
established travel speed.
Travel speed recommendations are given in
Table 1. However, the crop or plant type,
recommendations
by
the
chemical
manufacturer, and local conditions may
affect the appropriate speed to use per
application.

For more information on speed selection,
Always operate at a comfortable speed. Do
not operate so quickly that the machine
bounces while going through the field.
Effective results require that liquid be applied
in a consistent manner. Machine bouncing
will prevent this required consistency.
Broadcast Spraying
It is recommended that the operator makes
one pass around the field and then moves
back and forth to obtain the best results.
Using a marker system helps to prevent
skips or overlaps.
If the field has headlands, be sure to allow
sufficient space for turning.
