Hi, this might be an odd question because I'm an engineer, not a farmer...
How do people make sure they are spraying at the correct application rate on small sprayers (<500l like this one: https://www.silvannz.co.nz/silvan-sprayers/eco-500l-linkage-sprayer/)?
From what I've seen they just have a physical pressure gauge.
So the application rate could be calculated using the calculation table supplied with their nozzle tips, along with the pressure reading, and driving speed, right?
What about when driving along, does the pressure ever change?
Would it be hard to make sure the application rate stays true while driving since the pressure gauge is behind the operator?
How common is it to have a monitor/controller on a sprayer like that?
Thanks,
Dave
