<p>Hello all, need some healthy practical advice on
sprayer calibration. Specifically air blast sprayers.
For decades we have measured a block of trees to
determine acreage, sprayed out tank and determined
gallons per acre based on what area was covered in tank.
For example trees planted at 8 x 18 spacing gave us 300
trees to acre, we sprayed out tank, counted trees and
determined that our sprayer puts out 2.5 acres per
tank. we used this to determine amount of material to
put in the tank etc. All the calibration formulas , I
have seen require tree row volume(height x row spacing)
to be part of equation. I have 4-5 different spacings
in 100 acres of orchard which makes it more of a
headache to constantly figure gallons per acre and spray
materials needed in each different block(thus the reason
we simply measured trees per acre). I know my speed , i
know my gallons per minute but can't find an equation
that converts this to gallons per acre without tree row
volume.</p>
<p>need a simple but effective solution...any takers?</p>
<p>in Virginia we have plums in full bloom, fantasia and
red gold nectarines in pink and some open blooms, 21
degrees forecasted on friday and saturday night.</p>
<p>God Bless,</p>

<div>I agree that it's great to be out pruning. I
disagree that you should expect a longer
productive life with high density systems. My
goal here is to be looking at replanting when
the orchard reaches twenty years or so. New
varieties, strains of varieties and improved
planting system encourage 5% renewal in my
opinion. </div>

<div>Your comment makes sense to me. Right
now I have a cold and I fell on the ice on
Dec. 29th and I am still suffering. Pt
may help but it may take a while.</div>

<div>Ruminations after a
morning pruning. The
weather is ideal. The temps
are in the high 20's, the
wind is light and the sun is
shining. Weather like this
is why we live here.
Permanent limbs ultimately
and inevitably get too
large. This is why high
density systems can have a
longer productive life than
less dense orchards.</div>
