Nozzles
Many types for different uses and crops
flat-fan, even-flat, solid cone, adjustable, flood
Angle of a nozzle and the height at which it is held from the
ground/plant determines spray width and pattern (effective
swath width (ESW))
Use different sprayers/nozzles for insecticides and herbicides

Sprayer calibration
Calibration tells you:
How much is spraying from the nozzles (flow rate)
How fast your equipment is going (speed)
Many grower sprayers are calibrated at 50-100 gallons/acre
Calibrated periodically to ensure equipment is operating properly
Effective pest control depends on proper application of the pesticide so applying the right amount is important
too much (toxicity to crops, non-target, beneficial insects)
too little – not sufficient control is achieved
cost – time and money

Factors affecting spray output
Pressure
Speed – person
walking, tractor
Nozzle size - rate of
discharge
**Sprayer calibration is done using only water
![Page 19: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Steps to Applying a Pesticide
1. Calibrating Your Equipment
2. Calculating Pesticide Amount
3. Calculating Water Volume
![Page 20: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Step 1: Calibrating Your Equipment
1. Mark off the area to be used in calibration
2. Record the time taken to spray the calibration area – only when spraying
(using only water). Calculate distance traveled per unit time (speed)
3. Collect in a graduated container and measure the output from the sprayer
per unit time (flow rate)
finish Start
Your calibration area does not have to be
the same area that you plan to spray. It
just needs to be a known area
![Page 21: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example: Calibrating Your Equipment
1. Mark your calibration area = 1000 sqft
2. Time to spray the area = 50 s to cover 1000 sqft
• Distance traveled = 200 ft
• Speed = 200 ft/50 s = 4 ft/s
3. How much water came out = 0.75 gal
• Flow rate = 0.75 gal/50 s = 0.015 gal/s
Application rate = 0.75 gallons per 1000 sqft
OR
(43,560 sqft/acre x 0.75 gal/1000 sqft) gallons/acre
= 32.67 gallons/acre
5 ft (spray width)
100 ft
![Page 22: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Step 2: Calculating Pesticide Amount
1. Determine your area to be sprayed
2. Determine the recommended application rate
• Found on the pesticide label
3. Determine the amount of pesticide needed for
your application area
![Page 23: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example: Calculating Pesticide Amount
1. Determine your area
100 ft x (5 ft x 4) = 2000 sqft
2000 sqrt / 43,560 sqft = 0.046 acres
(treatment area in acres)
2. Pesticide: Malathion 5EC
Rate for potato leafhopper on beans:
2 pints/acre (application rate)
3. How much pesticide for your area?
2 pints/acre x 0.046 acres = 0.092 pints of Malathion 5EC
473 ml/pint x 0.092 pints = 43.4 ml of Malathion 5EC for 2000 sqft (pesticide amount)
5 ft
100 ft
1 acre = 43,560 ft2
5 ft 5 ft 5 ft
![Page 24: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Step 3: Calculating Your Water Volume
1. Determine the distance you have to travel to cover
your spray area
Based on your spray width
2. Determine the time to cover your spray area
3. Calculate your water volume
![Page 25: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Example: Calculating Your Water Volume
1. Determine travel distance
100 ft x 4 = 400 ft
2. Speed = 4 ft/s (from calibration)
400 ft / (4 ft/s) = 100 s (travel time)
3. Flow Rate (sprayer output) = 0.015 gallon/s (from calibration)
0.015 gal/s x 100 s = 1.5 gal
1.5 gal x 3.785 L/gal = 5.7 L (water volume)
5 ft
100 ft
1 gallon = 3.785 L
![Page 26: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pesticide Calculation Results
To treat 2000 ft2 with Malathion 5EC you need:
If your tank holds 2 L, you would need to fill 3.2 times
to cover your area
43.4 ml Malathion 5EC
in
5.7 L water
![Page 27: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How much active ingredient (a.i.) are you
applying??
1. Determine the a.i. in your pesticide
Malation 5EC means 5 pounds a.i./gallon
5 lb/gal x 453.59 g/lb x 1/3785 gal/mL = 0.60 g ai/mL (metric)
2. How much a.i are you applying?
Pesticide applied: 43.4 ml (from step 2)
43.4 mL x 0.60 g ai/mL = 26.0 g a.i.
EC (emulsifiable
concentrate) is a
liquid
![Page 28: Announcements - UF Entomology & Nematology Departmententnemdept.ufl.edu/Liburd/Fruitnvegipm/Presentations/Lab8_Pesticides.pdfExample: Calibrating Your Equipment 1. Mark your calibration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041009/5eb6f721dc8e455b9e6001af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What if your pesticide has a solid
formulation? How do you calculate a.i.?
1. Determine the a.i. in your pesticide
Grandevo is a powder
a.i. is 30% of the formula
2. How much a.i are you applying?
Pesticide applied (example): 62.6 g
62.6 g x 0.30 ai = 18.8 g a.i.
Use the percent a.i. from
the label to calculate the
a.i. you are applying
