We use 1/2 rate from both sides for the coverage as opposed to full rate both
sides. Also you can mix for one block and then either add the water or more
material for the other block.

We advise every row spraying because of the spotty coverage with alternate
rows. Growers with very clean orchards get by with alter

I would like to do alternate row spraying in the high density block
and at 4 mph, I noticed poor coverage similar to what Peter
mentioned. Are you guys going every row? Also, my rows are very,
very tight up against the deer fence and that speed it was hard to
get turned around

Why is 4M

Why is 4MPH (6,5km/h) too fast? hills?
it’s quite common to have forward speeds of 7,3km/h in tall spindle (4,5MPH)

Thanks for the responses. So when you guys use the spray controllers
do you try to maintain the same GPA across all blocks? Seems like if
you don't have one (like me) and you mix a tank to apply across
multiple training styles with varying row spacing the pesticide rate
per acre would be
I saw that, too. I had a story earlier this year with Mark Ledebuhr, who was
attempting to devise such a system for a lower cost than the Raven.

I have an Ag-Tec sprayer, and old 3002. I have not heard of the Raven
system, but wonder if this would apply to an older Ag-Tec model.

Nick,
You are correct. To maintain your target gallon per acre application of water
you need to consider adjustments to your travel-ground speed, gallon per
minute (GPM) flow rate from the nozzle tips and the tree-row width. Changing
your pressure will impact your droplet size and not do too
Nick,
We use a TeeJet sprayer controller which allows us to change flow/pressure
based on tree density. At times this requires a change in travel speed and
or tractor rpms as well. Cost was about $1500, and at times the unit is a
bit of a headache.

Hi everyone,
Just curious as to how you guys with larger orchards spray blocks in
your orchards when some might be high density and others free
standing. Do you do a couple of calibrations with different gear/
pressure settings or just do all of one style block at a time?
Cheers,
Nick Lu
