Select ground speed (rate of travel) to be used.
Determine the distance between tree rows.
Decide gallons of spray wanted per acre based on tree size, material to be applied, and efficient operation of your sprayer.
From Table 3-1 determine spray output per minute needed for the entire sprayer (two sides). For example, to apply 50 gallons of spray per acre at 2 mph, 4.0 gallons per minute will be needed for rows 20 feet apart and 6.1 for 30-foot rows. If one-side delivery is used, the amount needed is one-half the amount in the table.
