What is sprayer calibration and why do I need to calibrate my sprayer?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

The objective of calibration is the same no matter what kind of sprayer you are using, to apply the correct amount of chemical to do the job.  All pesticide labels tell you how much you should be applying.  If you apply too much chemical you may impact other plants and resources that you do not want to.  If you apply too little chemical you may not get the results you want. 

MWCA has a web page with videos and reference materials to help demystify calibration.
