1.
Fill insecticide and/or herbicide hoppers.
2.
Attach a calibrated vial to each granular chemical meter.
NOTE: Disengage clutch to avoid dropping seed during test.
3.
Lower planter and drive 400 meters at planting speed.
4.
Weigh chemical in ounces caught in one vial.
5.
Multiply that amount by factor shown to determine pounds (kilograms) per acre (hectare).
EXAMPLE: You are planting 70 cm rows. You have planted for 400 meters at desired planting speed. You caught 337
grams of chemical in one vial. 337 grams times 0.0357 equals 12 kilograms per hectare.
NOTE: Check calibration of all rows.
METERING GATE
Use metering gate setting as a starting point for distributing insecticide or herbicide. Charts are based on 8 km/h planting
speed. Use a higher gate setting for speeds faster than 8 km/h and a lower setting for speeds slower than 8 km/h.

granular chemical rate of delivery.
Agricultural chemicals can cause death
or serious injury to persons, animals,
