| Abstract/Contents: | Details calibration of herbicide application machines, stating that "guessing when calculating herbicide application can lead to many problems. Too much herbicide can harm the environment, but too little won't kill any weeds." Presents techniques for calibrating herbicide sprayers and spreaders, stating that "it is important to calibrate new spreaders. The hard knocks a spreader gets during shipping can change calibration. Also, many spreaders are shipped unassembled. The way the spreader is bolted together can affect calibration, so it is necessary to calibrate after assembly." Concludes that "calibration is an easy way to improve the metering performance of [a] spreader. It only takes a couple of minutes and helps [to] apply the recommended amount of material to [the] lawn." |
