Marking the application borders – for Delay on start
In this phase, you will need to mark where your sprayer begins application when you exit and where the product has been already applied. You must also determine where application should begin in the future.
This will tell you whether the sprayer is switching on too early, or too late.
The illustrations below show the lines which you will need to mark in the field in order to be able to calculate the "Delay on start" parameter.
Lines for the "Delay on start" parameter. Left: Sprayer switches on too late. Right: Sprayer switches on too early.
In both cases (left and right), the "Delay on start" parameter is incorrectly set:
- ▪
- Left: Sprayer switches on too late. The delay period must be extended.
- ▪
- Right: Sprayer switches on too early. The delay period must be reduced.
Procedure
- 1.
- Compare the markings in the field with the calculations.
- ⇨
- You now know whether the sprayer is switching on too early, or too late.
