≈ 9 bags of sugar
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the herbicide label rate in fluid ounces per acre and your sprayer tank capacity in gallons.
- Set the field size to spray in acres.
- Input the carrier (water) volume applied per acre, typically 10-20 gal/acre for field crops.
- Enter the surfactant rate as a percentage by volume (typically 0.25% for non-ionic surfactants).
- Review product needed per tank and for the whole field, tank loads required, acres covered per tank, and surfactant volume.
How the result changes with Carrier Volume
| Carrier Volume | Product per Tank |
|---|---|
| 8.5 | 1,129.41 oz |
| 17 | 564.71 oz |
| 28 | 342.86 oz |
| 37 | 259.46 oz |
What each input means
- Tank Size
- Spray tank capacity in gallons.
- Product Rate
- Herbicide application rate in fluid ounces per acre from the product label.
- Acres to Spray
- Total field area to be sprayed.
- Carrier Volume
- Total spray solution (water + product) applied per acre. Typical: 10-20 gal/acre for field crops.
- Surfactant Rate
- Surfactant (adjuvant) percentage by volume. Typically 0.25% v/v for non-ionic surfactants.
