Calibration – Seven Basic StepsCalibration – Seven Basic StepsDetermine the:
1. Size of the treated area, in acres.
2. Pivot circumference, in feet.
3. Pivot travel speed, in feet per minute.
4. Product used and application rate.
5. Total amount of product required.
6. Injection rate in gallons per hour.
7. Injection pump setting.
Determine the:
1. Size of the treated area, in acres.
2. Pivot circumference, in feet.
3. Pivot travel speed, in feet per minute.
4. Product used and application rate.

7. Injection pump setting.
Chemigation AssumptionsChemigation Assumptions A grower will apply Vydate C-LV to a potato
field for nematode suppression. Pivot to last tower is 1,275 feet. Wetted radius is 1,300 feet. No swing arm & endgun will be disabled. Target irrigation depth is 0.33-inch water. Application rate is 40 ounces per acre. 250-gallon tank will be used. Diaphragm pump output is 22 gallons / hour. DUlq is 79 percent.
