Factsheet: Field Sprayer Calibration
It is important to properly calibrate your sprayer for maximum performance. Improper spray application can be costly in terms of poor pest control, crop injury and possible environmental contamination. Sprayer output can vary from season to season due to nozzle wear, change in pressure, tractor speed or the use of a different tractor. Therefore, your sprayer should be calibrated at the beginning of each growing season. Proper calibration requires little time and can produce substantial economic and environmental benefits.
