Calculation based on herbicide application

 

Experience has shown that to spray one hectare with a hydraulic nozzle sprayer in good working condition and a 15 liter sprayer, one will need 300 liters of solution, i.e. 20 sprayer loads.

Type 1 recommendation

To control grasses, 5 liter of propanil should be applied per hectare. Its mean ...

1 liter = 1000 ml

20 sprayers (15 L each) per ha

5000 ml/ 20 = 250

i.e. 250 ml  per 1 small Kap-sac sprayer and 20 loads will be required.

 

Type 2 recommendation(for insecticides)

 

                                                Volume of spray solution   ×   Per cent strength of insecticide required

Amount of insecticide=   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­                                                                                                                               per cent strength of insecticide given

 

Amount of malathian 25 EC when applied as 0.025 per cent solution

                                                                300  × 0.025

                                                =             ---------------

                                                                     25

                                                =  0.3 liter or 300 ml/ ha

Sethoxydim @ 0.22-0.54 a. i.  kg ha-1 or cycloxydin @ 0.22-0.54 a. i.  kg ha-1 and  Fluazifop @ 0.22 a. i.  kg ha-1

To Help

I have to advise that If not correctly used, herbicides may be dangerous to the health of the farmer or gardner, his or her crops, and the envirment as a whole. but that being said have a look at this http://www.africaricecenter.org/publications/PLAR/techmanual/reference20.... i have been reading-books like this to help all the time.

Hope this helps.
