Calibration of Turfgrass Boom Sprayers and Spreaders (AG-628)Print This Post/Page

8th July 2008

Proper application of pesticides and fertilizers is possible only with a sprayer or spreader that is accurately calibrated. When equipment is not correctly calibrated, it is easy to apply too little or too much pesticide and fertilizer. That may result in a lack of pest control, damaged turf, excess cost, and contamination of the environment.


Calibration is the process of measuring and adjusting the output of application equipment in order to apply the correct amount of material uniformly over a given area. Although this publication focuses on boom sprayers and granular spreaders used on turfgrass, the calibration principles are the same regardless of the type of equipment used. Sprayers and spreaders should be calibrated at first use and after every fourth application. The time it takes to calibrate application equipment is returned manyfold.
