a 6 Calculating the Broadcast Equivalent Application fW �.- To calculate the broadcast equivalent rate for bedded or strip applications the Figure 1,Bedded/Strip Application following information is needed: (i acre application black) • gallons of product pertreeted acre • strip or bed bottom width(Inches) • center-la-center new spacing(Inches) • application block size(acres) Gallons of product per treated acre is the ratio of total amount of product applied to the size of the total area treated(e.g..the rate of product applied In the bed). Far bedded of strip applications,the total area treated is the summation of the area(i.e.,length x width)of each treated bed bottom or strip that Is located within the application black as shown by the black areas In Figure 1(e.g.,black areas are HA or 60%atthe use within the application block)-The area of the space between the bade/strips Is not factored In the total area treated. U1 The application block size is the acreage within the perimeter of the fumigated portion of a geld(including furrows,irrigation ditches,roadways).The perimeter of the application black is the border that connects the outermost edges of total area treated with the lumlgant product. I he'broadcast equivalent rate'must be calculated with the following formula: strip or bed bottom width broadcast equivalent rate Cinches) gallons product/ (gallons productlacre) center-to-canter row spacing x treated acre applied in the strip or bed Cinches) — The bed width must be measured from the bottom of bed. Figure 2,Center flaw Spacing — The center-to-center row spacing must calculate as shown In Figure 2. center-to-center — Itchen arehe application block, multiply the rows and bmadcrea ast equivalent lent ot equationfumigatedby row space that are in the appches, aleck,multiply rows above other areas thata re equation (total area of strips or beds+row spacing)/(application block size).
