APPLICATION APPLICATION RATES RATES
The following formula should be used to calculate application rates.
Application Rate (inches per hour) =
Example:
Emitter Flow Rate = 1 gph
Spacing Between Emission Device = 18"
Spacing Between Poly Laterals = 16"
Question:
What is the application rate?
Solution:
231 x 1
Application Rate = 16 x 18 = .80"/hr
