NOTE: Make sure target application rate is for banded area and not covered area.

The acre counter on both Page 2 of Run and in Job Summaries records covered acres and not banded acres.

The application rate in Job Summaries is calculated by total volume applied divided by covered acres, NOT banded acres. When band spraying, the application rate in Job Summaries will always be a percentage of the target rate.

To determine if application rate in Job Summaries is correct, use the following equation:

Job Summaries Application Rate = Target Application Rate x Band Width ÷ Row Width

NOTE: The sample SETUP screen on this page has been programmed for banding 40 in. rows with a banding width of 20 in.
