| Abstract/Contents: | One of the most difficult aspects of pesticide use in nursery crop production is the mathematical conversion of application rates to numbers appropriate for different-sized containers. Presents a program developed for use on a relatively inexpensive, battery-powered programmable calculator that computes the number of grams of a solid formulation to be appilied per container when rate is entered in pounds per square foot. The program is written in RPN language. The program requires that the user key in the rate numerator in pounds, the rate denominator in square feet, and the container diameter in inches. The program computes the container area and converts the rate into the number of grams appropriate for that container size. Use of this program allows the rapid and precise determination of the exact amount of a granular formulation to be applied per container and eliminates the potential problems of over- or under-application. |
