Calculate Required Flow Rate from the Sprayer
The required flow rate (in litres per minute) can be calculated using the following
formula:
Flow Rate (l/min) = Volume Application Rate (l/ha) x Speed (km/hr) xTrack Spacing (m)
600
Volume application rate is chosen so as to apply the recommended dose of active
ingredient (see FAO guidelines or manufacturer’s label).
Example: if required volume application rate
= 0.5 litres per ha (l/ha)
Vehicle speed
= 10 kilometres per hour (km/hr)
Track spacing
= 50 metres (m)
Then required flow rate from sprayer
=
0.5 x 10 x 50 = 0.42 litres/ min
600
= 420 ml/min
The tables below give examples of combinations of flow rates and vehicle speeds
needed to apply volume application rates of 0.5 and 1.0 litre per hectare.
