On-field spray mixture preparation

INFORMATION

The amount of spray mixture is determined by the operator's visual inspection.

  1. Pause the treatment by clicking on Spraying.

  2. Calculate the volume of spray mixture needed to continue the treatment: V = (A - CA) × LHA

    • V = volume of mixture to be sprayed

    • A = total surface of the field

    • CA = surface already treated (covered area)

    • LHA = consumption (l/ha)

  3. Prepare the calculated mixture volume according to the instructions in the following chapter Mixture preparation.

  4. Resume treatment.
