For Proper Use
To assure proper application
of pesticides, spray equipment
should be properly calibrated to
determine the exact mount of
liquid applied per acre, accord
ing to Thomas H. Williams, ex
tension agricultural engineer at
the University of Delaware.
Before calibrating your spray
er, make sure all nozzles are
discharging at a uniform rate,
says Wil’iams. Clean each noz
zle thoroughly, then run the
sprayer in a stationary position
with clear water at normal
spraying pressure.
Place quart jars under nozzles
to catch the discharge from
each one, he adds. Water level
in- all jars should rise at the
same rate. Replace any nozzle
that has a discharge rate dif
ferent than the others.
To calibrate your sprayer, be
gin with a full tank of clean wa
ter. Adjust spraying pressure to
that normally used in the field.
Now drive exactly one-tenth of The American flag received
an acre at normal field speed, its first salute from another
then refill the tank, carefully country on Feb. 14, 1778, when
measuring the amount of water French vessels in Quiberon Bay,
required. Finally, multiply the France, saluted John Paul Jones

mine the amount of spray in gal
lons per acre and mix active in
gredients in the same propor
tion.
Always spray at the same
speed, pressure and nozzle open
ing used when calibrating, cau
tions Williams. Changing any of
these will alter the rate of appli
cation. It is wise to mark the
notch the throttle is in when cal
ibrating and keep it in that
notch when spraying.
The application rate of any
sprayer is also affected by vi
bration, pump wear, corrosion,
partial clogging of nozzles and
strainers and changes in field
conditions, he adds. And abras
ive wettable powder sprays
eventually change application
rate by causing wear m nozzle
openings.
It’s most important to re
member that sprayer calibra
tion is good only for conditions
under which calibration is made,
says Williams. Recalibration is
necessary if conditions change.

Dacamine
Dacamine gives you complete kill.
It goes to the roots of troublesome
bindweed, wipes them out with a
minimum of re-growth.
Dacamine packs all the killing
punch of an ester, yet it’s as safe
as an amine, it’s non-volatile, so
there’s no danger to nearby crops
when used as directed Tests show
that Dacamine is as safe as water
soluble amines Dacamine is oil
soluble and emulsifies in water for
easy spraying. Spray it just as you
would an ester. No special equip
ment is necessary. It will not pre
cipitate or separate in cold
weather while stored.
When you use Dacamme, you do
not pul valuable crop land out of
production. The cost is low, too. AH
you need is a very small amount
of Dacamme per acre.
Now is the time to set up a three
year spray program to eliminate
bindweed-infested areas. Get
Dacamme now at your favorite
