FIELD CHECK GRANULAR CHEMICAL APPLICATION
Temperature, humidity, speed, ground conditions, flowability of different material, or meter obstructions can affect
granular chemical rate of delivery.
WARNING
Agricultural chemicals can cause death or serious injury to persons,
animals, and plants or seriously damage soil, equipment, or property.
Read and follow all chemical and equipment manufacturers labels
and instructions.
Perform a field check to determine application rates.
1.
Fill insecticide and/or herbicide hoppers.
2.
Attach a calibrated vial to each granular chemical meter.
3.
Lower planter and drive 1320 feet at planting speed.
4.
Weigh chemical in ounces caught in one vial.
5.
For 30" row width, multiply that amount by 0.83 to determine pounds per acre.
EXAMPLE: You have planted for 1320 feet at desired planting speed. You caught 12.0 ounces of chemical in one vial.
12.0 ounces times 0.83 equals 9.96 pounds per acre.
NOTE: Check calibration of all rows.
