Thanks for the responses. So when you guys use the spray controllers
do you try to maintain the same GPA across all blocks? Seems like if
you don't have one (like me) and you mix a tank to apply across
multiple training styles with varying row spacing the pesticide rate
per acre would be out of whack between them.
Here's my scenario. 1.5 acres is conventional free standing and 1.5
is tall spindle. When I did TRV calculations last season and checked
the GPM of sprayer nozzles obviously with the difference in row
spacing the rate was way higher for the tall spindle block. When I
adjusted the gear speed so the GPA would match the free standing
block, tractor speed was way too fast ~4 MPH.
I suppose I could get another set of smaller nozzles for the tall
spindle block to try to keep things even between blocks.
Any further advise?
Cheers,
