ALL Herbicide Calculations and Application Herbicide Calculations.
Herbicides are often an important part of a weed control program.
To apply herbicides properly there are a number of mathematical calculations that must done. The area to be treated must be known. After the rate of application is determined, the amount of herbicide needed to treat the area must be calculated. If there are two or more formulations of the same herbicide available, you should determine how much a pound of active ingredient of each costs to help you decide which will be the most economical to apply. Finally, you must be able to do the calculations associated with calibrating the application equipment you will be using.
