We’re quickly approaching Sprayer Tune-Up Week, Feb. 21-24. Are you ready to perform the pre-season maintenance and calibration that is so vital to getting the most out of your investment in crop protection chemicals? A tune-up and calibration is time well spent, according to Dr. Stephen Pearson, technical services manager for Spraying Systems Co., maker of TeeJet* spray products and sponsor of Sprayer Tune-Up Week, now in its fifth year. “A few hours spent now tuning up your sprayer pays big divi dends;” Pearson said. “By calibrat ing your sprayer and ensuring accu rate application rates many applica tors can save as much as $3 per acre on each chemical they apply.” Sprayer Tune-Up Week is also the ideal time to do those sprayer maintenance chores that will help prevent frustrating breakdowns later, Pearson said. It’s a good time to upgrade your equipment and add convenience and safety.
