To use NACHURS liquid fertilizers, your planter/drill may need modifications for in-furrow or precision placement. Precision-placed fertilizer requires proper equipment for accurate application, pressure, etc.
Calibration Procedure
- Determine the recommended application rate/acre for NACHURS liquid fertilizer.
- Calculate the distance required to drive in field for each nozzle to treat 1/128 acre. (ounces collected from one nozzle equals gallons per acre)
Formula:
Distance to Drive (feet) / Row Width (inches)
- Drive required distance and collect output from one nozzle (check row and deep placement separately).
- Adjust to obtain desired output
- Pressure pump: Adjust pressure, speed or nozzle tips
- Squeeze pump: Adjust sprocket size
