To check fertilizer rates:

Tie a 4L (1 gal) container to machine frame next to a fertilizer opener. Remove delivery hose from opener and insert hose into container.

To obtain gal/acre or L/hectare that will actually be delivered:

2. Measure fluid (mL or oz) caught in container.

• Metric Example:

  Liters Per Hectare Conversion Chart
  Row Spacing	Conversion Factor
  51 cm	0.081
  76 cm	0.054

   

  Multiply fluid mL caught by the conversion factor for row spacing being planted. See Liters Per Hectare Conversion Chart.

For this example, 296 mL of fluid was captured in container with 76 cm row spacing.

296 oz x 0.144 = 42.69 L/hectare

• Standard Example:

  Gallons Per Acre Conversion Chart
  Row Spacing	Conversion Factor
  20 in.	0.255
  30 in.	0.170

   

  Multiply fluid oz caught by the conversion factor for row spacing being planted. See Gallons Per Acre Conversion Chart.

  For this example, 10 oz of fluid was captured in container with 30 in. row spacing.

  10 oz x 0.454 = 4.54 gal/acre
