Pesticide Calibration AL0416CA12

February 1, 2012 $195 before 01/18/2012; $225 after

9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Sometimes you just have to do the math! And this class will help make your math more painless and error-free. Measuring, mixing and calibrating requires a series of mathematical gymnastics that include conversions like: acres into square footage (application area), pounds or ounces of material (chemical amount) to amount of active ingredient (percentage active ingredient), ounces per second into gallons per minute (flow rates), and feet per second into MPH (speed of applicator). That’s a lot of margin for error, and one mistake can turn a lush lawn into a barren eyesore, or just a whole lot of wasted material and money.
