Sprayer Field Capacity and Spray Time
Theoretical and effective acres per hour, the spray time for a field, and the tank loads needed, from boom width, ground speed, and the field efficiency that overlap and turns eat up. Pairs with tank-mix for the product.
Formula and source
Theoretical acres/hr = boom width x speed / 8.25; effective = theoretical x field efficiency; spray time = field acres / effective; acres per tank = tank / GPA; tanks = ceil(acres / acres per tank).
