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. For exam-
