[QUOTE="ccr, post: 1633562, member: 28887"] For boom spray we use 20-30 psi, have a 21' swath, and fill tank with water (100 gallons). Then with sprayer on make a round trip of 500' length and see how much water was used, to calculate amount per acre (we use about 20 gallons per acre). Psi needs to remain at 20-30 psi, and rpm needs to be ~1700 for us, so adjusting the speed (gear) you can calibrate to desired amount sprayed per acre. For broadcast it's the same procedure. Broadcast is not as accurate as using the booms, but it's quicker (21' swath with booms and foam markers, compared to 40' swath with broadcast). [/QUOTE]
