Introduction to DGA’s 2020 HerbicideRecommendation Guide and Strategies to

Manage Weed Resistance Somethingyouwillnotice in thisyear’sGuide is the red numbers in parenthesis by the chemical name on the following pages . This is signifying the mode of action each herbicide uses to control a weed . It is not a ranking nor is any of the herbicide programs in any particular order . The significance of the red numbers should help make you aware of the mode of action you are choosing so you can use multiple modes in your program . Although the product name or manufacturer may be different, there are a limited number of chemical families to choose from . All of the different modes of action that correspond with the red numbers are listed on the next page in this guide . The number designation to identify the primary site of action was developed by the Weed Science Society of America . The following is a summary on weed resistance management published by the WSSA . Another excellent reference is the 2020 MP44 published by the University of Arkansas . It can be downloaded at uaex .edu/publications/pdf/mp44/mp44 .pdf

Best Management Practices for Herbicide Resistance (Weed Science Society of America)

1) Understand the biology of the weeds present .

2) Use a diversified approach toward weed management . Focus on preventing weed-seed production and reducing the number of weed seeds in the soil seed bank .

3) Plant into weed-free fields and then keep fields as weed-free as possi-ble .

4) Plant weed-free crop seed .

5) Scout fields routinely .

6) Use multiple herbicide modes of action (MOAs) that are effective against the most troublesome weeds or those most prone to herbicide resistance .

7) Apply the labeled herbicide rate at recommended weed sizes .

8) Emphasize cultural practices that suppress weeds by using crop com-petitiveness, meaning rapid-growing bush crops do a better job of suppressing weeds than slow-growing upright crops that produce few leaves .

9) Use mechanical and biological management practices where appropri-ate .

10) Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement of weed seed or vege-tative reproductive structures .

11) Manage weed seed at harvest and after harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed seed bank .

12) Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing field borders .

What causes herbicide failure? 9 out of 10 herbicide failures are due to factors other than resistance .

1) Time of day: influences spray coverage and performance . Liberty her-bicide is one that has proven to perform better in warmer temperatures and full sunlight .

2) Climate Conditions: rainfall patterns, temperature, enhanced microbial degradation, too dry, too wet .

3) Shading: one plant shading another from herbicide application .

4) Herbicide-application factors: inappropriate dose or timing, faulty spraying, herbicide antagonism among tank-mix partners, pH of spray solution, improper calibration, improper boom height, poor coverage .

5) Weed factors: size of weeds, subsequent germination, very high infes-tation level, weeds under stress .

6) Soil conditions: soil moisture, seedbed quality, absorption .

Things That Promote Resistance

1) Overdependence on single herbicides .

2) Relying on a single mode of action year after year .

3) Sequential applications of the same herbicides within a year .

4) Applying sub-lethal rates of herbicides .

General Resistance Management Strategies

1) Rotate crops .

2) Use tillage, cultivation and other cultural practices in rotation, when possible .

3) Rotate herbicides using different modes of action .

4) Use tank-mixtures at effective rates, with different modes of action .

5) Avoid using sequential applications of the same single herbicide over and over again .

6) Control weeds on fallow ground or set aside land to prevent spreading .

7) Use row shading to control weeds by planting narrow rows (not single row 30-38 in .) The sooner the crop gets up and shades between rows, the fewer weeds that can survive when starved of sunlight .

If you suspect resistance after an herbicide application: Attempt to eradicate escapes with alternative herbicides or cultural methods . Do not let them go to seed! Collect seed samples from suspect plants and take them to your county Extension agent .

DGA Adjuvant DescriptionsDelta Growers is introducing our own proprietary line of adjuvants that com-pare with the best on the market today . Adjuvants are critical in most prod-ucts’performanceandmaynotbewarranteediftheyarenotused.Alsowithtoday’severincreasinggenericmarket,surfactants,cropoils,etc.willhelpperformance while keeping costs per acre low . Below are the descriptions of the new line of products plus the old products that are being replaced .

Boost AMS: This is the liquid AMS product we stock that is replacing Ener-gize . It contains 3 .4 lbs of AMS/gal . Always add 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal of H2O with any product requiring ammonium sulfate, such as glyphosate, Liberty, or most any post emerge herbicide application . This product also contains a defoamer and is less abrasive to pumps and hoses than dry AMS . Not labeled with new dicamba formulations!

Array: Liberty and Verdict are two herbicides that require a high rate of AMS . Array is a dry AMS formulation that is much easier to mix than regular spray grade AMS . Array is a target performance adjuvant that increases the deposition, retention and performance of post applied pesticides . The rate is one 45# bag/500 gal of spray solution or 1 lb/acre when using large volumes of water . Not labeled with new dicamba formulations!

DeltaVate: This is our 80% non-ionic surfactant that is replacing DeltaSurf with the same high quality level plus is much better defoaming . Several products call for 1 qt/100 gal H2O of a NIS . Also consider adding DeltaVate to all applications of generic glyphosate to guarantee adequate surfactant load since qualities between brands and manufacturers can vary greatly . DeltaVate is a labeled tank mix with XtendiMax and Engenia!

All Oil: Is our high surfactant methylated seed oil that is replacing both Bean Oil and Sundance II . The standard rate is .5 gal/100 gal H2O or what-ever the label requires . Sharpen and Verdict are two herbicides that require 1 pt/acre on their labels . All Oil is a labeled tank mix with XtendiMax and Engenia!

HammerLock: Is our replacement for Interlock and is a drift control and canopy penetration aid formulated to enhance pesticide performance by im-proving the deposition and coverage of spray solutions . The rate is 4-6 oz per acre . This product is an approved adjuvant with XtendiMax, Enge-nia and the Enlist system but is not an approved DRA.

Smart Trio: Is not an adjuvant but a foliar fertilizer product that we are stocking . This is a proprietary crop nutrition technology designed to boost plant health, correct nutrient deficiencies and bring efficiencies to foliar/post emerge herbicide applications . Its guaranteed analysis is 4% Nitrogen, 3% Sulfur, .25% Boron, 3% Manganese and 3% Zn . It has shown to increase yield and speed recovery after post emerge herbicide applications in corn, soybeans and cotton . It is always recommended with high rate applications of glyphosate or Liberty to reduce yellow flash . The rate is 1-2 qts/acre and it is compatible with most post emerge herbicides, including glyphosate . Always add it last in the tank mix order . Not labeled with new dicamba formulations!

Smart Quatro: This is another foliar formulation for all crops in the Smart family that we have had so much success with . Smart Quatro is a foliar zinc (3%), manganese (3%), boron (2%), sulfur (1 .5%), and molybdenum (0 .1%) supplement designed for compatibility with a wide range of tank mix part-ners . This product is a foliar nutrient that is approved with Enlist, Xtendi-Max and Engenia applications. Use rate is one qt/acre .

Bio-Master: Is a micronutrient formulation with seaweed extract derived from Ascophyllum Nodosum in combination with humic acids . The analysis is 1 .5% magnesium, 4% sulfur, .16% boron, 1% iron, .75% manganese and .75% zinc . Most of these nutrients are in water soluble form for immediate uptake . It also contains 1% seaweed extract plus 1% humic acid and is currently in the program for the world record corn yield holder . The rate foliar applied is 1-2 qts/ac and can be applied over any crop but is not an approved tank mix partner in the Xtend or Enlist programs.

Delta DRA: Is our replacement for Vaporgard + DRA and is a strong wa-ter conditioner that will enhance the efficacy of glyphosate plus has an ap-proved DRA for either Engenia or XtendiMax herbicide tank mixes that require it. Delta DRA is a true buffer to enhance glyphosate and dicamba tank mixes to hold pH at 5 .5-6 .5 . It also contains a non-ionic surfactant plus defoamer . This is an all in one product to add into an Xtend cropping system or any tank mix needing anti-drift capabilities (DRA) with a wa-ter conditioner. Use rate is 5 pts/100 gal H20 when a DRA is required or .5 gal/100 gal H2O in other systems . Add 4 oz/acre of HammerLock to Delta DRA to improve drift performance even more!

1 . Acuron (15 +5 + 27 + 27) @ 1 .5 -2 .5 qts/ac (Do not apply prior to 14 days before planting) . This option is safe for Counter treated corn . This is as close to a one pass pre program as we have, but you will need to add additional atrazine . Could also use 1 .5 qts Acuron pre, followed by Halex GT for arguably the best 2 pass program on Counter treated corn and a guaranteed warranty from Syngenta .

• Atrazine 4L (5) @ 1-1 .5 qts/ac

2 . Medal II ATZ (15 + 5) @ 2 .1 qts/ac . This option is safe for Counter treated corn .

3 . Leadoff (2) @ 1 oz/ac • Atrazine 4L (5) @ 1-1 .5 qt/ac (All Oil can be added, if needed) .

All of these options contain atrazine . Rates must be followed by a planned post emerge program .

Post-emerge Glyphosate-Free Options: Use where glyphosate resis-tant weeds are present or on conventional corn.

1 . Realm Q (2 + 27) @ 4 oz/ac (Apply on 4-20” corn) (Excellent option in cotton country with drift concerns) . • Atrazine 4L (5) @ 1-1 .5 qts/ac ( when adding atrazine, 12” corn is max height) • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

Could add Status (4) or ImpactZ (4 + 5) to the tank mix to broaden the weed control spectrum . When split applying Atrazine 4L, a total of 2 .5 qts can be used in a season .

Post-emerge Options for RR corn

1 . Realm Q (2 + 27) @ 4 oz/ac (apply on 4-20” corn) . Do not apply over .5 oz of Rimsulfuron per year . Products that contain rimsulfuron are Leadoff, Resolve Q, Realm Q, and Steadfast Q . • Roundup PowerMax 2 @ 32 oz/ac • Atrazine 4L (5) @ 1-1 .5 qts/ac (when adding Atrazine, 12” corn is maximum height) • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

2 . Halex GT (27 + 15 + 9) @ 3 .6 pts/ac (spray 2-3 weeks after planting .

14 15

3 . Acuron (15 + 5 +27 + 27) @ 1 .5 qts/ac . Apply before corn reaches 12 inches tall and weeds are 3 inches or less . • Roundup PowerMax 2 @ 32 oz/ac • DeltaVate @ 1 qt/100 gal H20 • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

4 . Status (4) @ 2 .5 - 5 oz/ac (4”-36” tall corn) or Impact (4) @ .75 oz/ ac or ImpactZ (4 + 5) @ 8 oz/ac . The addition of Zidua (15) @ 1 .5- 2 .5 oz/ac could also be added for additional residual . • Roundup PowerMax 2 @ 32 oz/ac • Atrazine 4L (5) @ 1-1 .5 qts/ac (when adding Atrazine, 12” corn is max height) • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

Post-emerge Options for RR corn treated with Counter

1 . Impact (4) @ .75 oz/ac or Impact Z (4 + 5) @ 8 oz/ac (Impact Z adds .25# of atrazine to the .75 oz Impact rate . Since atrazine is added, Impact Z has a 12” height restriction on corn but the added atrazine is extremely economical) . • Roundup PowerMax 2 @ 32 oz/ac • Atrazine 4L (5) @ 1-1 .5 qts/ac (when adding Atrazine, 12” corn is max height) • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

3 . Medal ATZ (15 + 5) @ 1 .5 -2 .1 qts/ac (rate dependant on soil type) . 12” corn is max height . • Roundup PowerMax2 @ 32 oz/ac • All Oil @ 1 pt/ac • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

Could add Zidua (15) @ 1 .5-2 .5 oz/ac for additional residual except with Medal ATZ . When split applying Atrazine 4L a total of 2 .5 qts/ac can be used in a season .

Recommendation to KILL RR/LL (Pioneer) corn in a replant situation. If corn is RR only, use Liberty to KILL poor stand prior to replant.

1 . Gramoxone (22) @ 40 oz/acre • Metribuzin (5) (Metriclude) @ 3 oz/ac • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1#/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

Notes

• The number in red parenthesis by each herbicide is the mode of action . Notice that Roundup PowerMax 2 does not have the MOA listed due to glyphosate resistant Palmer Amaranth .

• Do not exceed 2 .5 qts ./ac of Atrazine 4L in one season applied over 2 or more applications .

• The key to clean fieldsat harvest is tostart clean either with tillage or a burn-down program, then apply a good residual product, and follow with a good, early post emerge program . Resistant weeds are a serious problem in our area . Do not give them a chance to get established in your crop!

• When using a post emerge program always mix at least two dif-ferent modes of action .

• Always add necessary surfactants and additives . Proper ad-

juvant selection is critical to maximize performance of most her-bicides .

• The addition of a foliar fertilizer, such as Smart Trio, will speed re-covery from a post emerge herbicide application . Also coverage and uptake into the plant will be improved .

• These are a few of the weed control options available for corn for the 2020 crop year . Options should be adjusted for weed pres-sure, weed size, crop stage, cost per acre, etc .

4 . Tillage

Add Roundup PowerMax II @ 32 oz, Liberty (10) @ 32 oz or Gramoxone (22) at 48 oz . plus additives to all above chemical options . These are all base rates, may need to increase due to weed size or pressure .

Pre-emerge Programs for all soybeans (Xtend, LL, Enlist, RR and non-GMO). This is the most important application in a soybean weed control program. Do not skip this step!

1 . Fierce (14 + 15) @ 3 oz/ac (apply up to 3 days after planting but before cracking) • Gramoxone (22) @ 48 oz/ac • Tri Cor DF (metribuzin) (5) @ 4 oz/ac • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

2 . Zidua Pro (2 + 14 + 15) @ 6 oz/acre . This is a premix of Zidua, Sharpen and Pursuit . For continuous bean ground only . Should have good broadleaf burndown potential plus residual and can plant and spray in the same day . • All Oil @ 1 pt/ac • Roundup PowerMax II or Liberty (10) @ 32 oz/ac • Array @ 1lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

3 . Trifluralin (3) (gen.treflan)@2-3pts.Thisoptionmustbe incorporated . • Canopy DF (2 + 2 + 5) @ 4-6 oz/ac

4 . Envive (2 + 14) @ 3 .5 oz/ac or Valor SX or EZ (14) @ 2 oz/ac (apply 14 days preplant through planting) • Gramoxone (22) @ 48 oz/ac or Liberty (10) @ 32 oz/ac • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

In an Xtend program, XtendiiMax @ 22 oz or Engenia @ 12.8 oz/ac could be added for broadleaf burndown. Dicamba is a good residual product in dry, drought conditions. If XtendiMax or Engenia is added, drop the Array and add 5 pts/100 gal H2O of Delta DRA.

Post-emerge Conventional. Apply 10-14 days after pre emerge appli-cation.

1 . Prefix (14 + 15) @ 2 pts (Must be applied from cracking to 3rd trifoliate) . • SelectMax (1) @ 8 oz/ac • All Oil @ .5 gal/100 gal H2O • Array @ 1 lb/ac or 1-1 .5 gal/100 gal H2O Boost AMS

Post-emerge tank mix partners. Rate and combination will depend on weed spectrum and crop label . These products could be combined with any of the post emerge options for conventional, LL or RR listed above . • Classic: good control of yellow nutsedge • Cadet: good control of Morning Glory and wild cotton (velvetleaf) • Resource: good control of Morning Glory • FirstRate: good control/suppression of Mares Tail escapes . The bigger the weed, the less control .

Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Recommendations: the labels for XtendiMax and Engenia have changed again in the last year and MO is follow-ing the federal label. Anyone applying, purchasing, mixing, handling, transporting, etc. must go through an approved Dicamba Training session and have a certificate of completion. Also anyone applying or purchasing must have a current Private Pesticide license, as these products are restricted. All details and rules for the new labels were covered in these training sessions so we will not cover them again here. Since the label is very restrictive and no post emerge application or XtendiMax or Engenia can be made after the soybean crop to be ap-plied reaches R1 or first bloom, do not skip a good residual pre-emerge program like we have listed above. Also schedule your post emerge dicamba application 14-21 days after planting so you have time to get it sprayed before R1. Layer another residual with your post emerge dicamba application to get you through to row shading.

XtendiMax rate is 22 oz/acre with max rate of 44 oz. Follow all federal e label requirements for application.

Engenia rate is 12.8 oz/acre max rate per acre per application. Follow all federal label requirements for application. The Engenia label re-quires an approved respirator worn when mixing or handling.

• Delta DRA @ 5 pts/100 gal of water meets the label requirements of both products for water conditioning plus DRA in one jug . • Smart Quatro @ 1 qt/ac is a labeled foliar fertilizer for both XtendiMax and Engenia and will speed recovery of the soybean plantandeliminateyellowflash.www.engeniatankmix.comwww.xtendimaxapplicationrequirements.comMissouri Department of Ag – Direct question line 1-(573)-751-5504

Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Post Emerge Recommendations. Products highlighted in green fit the Bayer Rewards Rebate Program. Products highlighted in blue fit the BASF Rebate program.

1 . Roundup PowerMax II @ 32 oz/ac + XtendiMax (4) @ 22 oz/ac + Warrant (15) @ 3 pts/ac • Delta DRA @ 5 pts/100 gal H2O • Brandt Smart Quatro @ 1 qt/acre

2 . Roundup PowerMax II @ 32 oz/ac + XtendiMax (4) @ 22 oz/ac + Warrant Ultra (14 + 15) @ 50 oz/ac • Delta DRA @ 5 pts/100 gal H2O • Brandt Smart Quatro @ 1 qt/ac

4 . Roundup PowerMax II @ 32 oz/ac + Engenia (4) @ 12 .8 oz/ac + Zidua (15) @ 2 oz/ac . Do not use this option if you are following a Fierce or Zidua Pro pre-emerge program . • Delta DRA @ 5 pts/ac • Brandt Smart Quatro @ 1 qt/ac

5 . Roundup PowerMax II @ 32 oz/ac + Engenia (4) @ 12 .8 oz/ac + Outlook (15) @ 12 .8 oz/ac . This is the option with BASF if following a Fierce or Zidua Pro pre program . • Delta DRA @ 5 pts/ac • Brandt Smart Quatro @ 1 qt/ac

Notes• The number in red parenthesis by each herbicide is the mode of

action . Roundup PowerMax II does not have a mode of action listed due to resistant weed species such as Palmer Amaranth .

• Liberty can be substituted for Gramoxone or glyphosate in your burndown or pre-emerge program . Do not use Liberty in LL beans except for post-emerge applications . Another good option is mixing Liberty with glyphosate in your burndown program .

• Thekey tocleanfieldsatharvest is tostart clean either with till-age or a burn-down program, then apply a good residual product, and follow with a good, early post emerge program with another residual product 7 to 21 days after emergence . The only way to insure failure of a residual product is to never apply them in the first place. A weed that never comes up is our best control method .

Scoutfieldsearlyandoften!Donotgiveweeds(especiallypalmeramaranth) a chance to get established in your crop, you will hoe them out .

• The fomesafen containing products (Prefix,Flexstar, Reflex, etc.)have proven to be the most effective post emerge options but must be applied before pigweeds reach 3 inches in height and cannot ex-ceed 24 oz of material in a given season . Also these products have a 10 month rotation restriction before planting corn . Use them early in your post program and possibly skip on your latest planted beans ifyouplantoplantcornnextyearonsamefield.

• Resistance to the PPO (14) familyofherbicideshasbeenconfirmedin our area in palmer amaranth . This resistance has been to post-emerge PPO formulations such as Cobra, Flexstar, UltraBlazer, etc . Anything with a (14) beside it in this guide . So far, resistance has not been observed with PPO formulas used as a pre-emerge such asReflex,Prefix,Valor,etc.

• Donotskimponwatervolumeandusesufficientpressure.• When applying post emerge products, the addition of a foliar fertil-

izer, such as Smart Trio or Smart Quatro, at 1 qt/ac will speed the recoveryfromleafburnandyellowflash.Itwillalsohelpcoverageand uptake into the plants .

• These are a few of the weed control options available for the 2020 crop year . Options and rates should be adjusted for weed pres-sure, weed size, cost per acre, etc.

Soybean Seed Treatment Options:Conventional, RR, and LL hybrids

1 . Magnum Standard: this is our standard treatment in 2020 and protects against downy mildew, Pythium, Phytophtora, Fusorium, Rhizoctonia, Helmithosporium, etc . Magnum Standard also includes Macho 600 ST (gaucho) to provide systemic activity against early season sucking and chewing insects and suppression against soil-dwelling pests . Since it includesaninsecticide,thistreatmentqualifiesfor75%replantfromPi-oneer on soybean seed for an extremely economical price .

2 . Pioneer Premium Seed Treatment (PPST): this is Pioneer’s bestbranded seed treatment that includes two fungicides, two insecticides, Votivo, plus a biological and an inoculant . Pioneer has shown this treat-ment to increase yields by up to 4 bushels and protects against a broad spectrum of seedling diseases, insects and nematodes .

3 . Aveo: this isabiologicalseedtreatmentdevelopedtofightSoybeanCyst Nematode (SCN), Reniform nematode and others . This product can be added to our Magnum Standard soybean treatment, Pioneer PPST or can be over treated on any treated corn seed with its low use rate . This product showed to be very effective on nematodes in last year’ssoybeanscombinedwithahighyieldingRootknotnematodere-sistant variety . Aveo was also very affective over treated on corn .

4 . Vibrance: this treatment can be added to all four of the above options . It gives added protection for Rhizoctonia and more robust root systems byutilizing thefirst fungicideSyngentahasdevelopedspecifically forroots .

5 . Mertect 340-F: this fungicide can be added to the above options to provide additional protection for Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) . Best to use with a resistant variety on early planted acres with a SDS history .

6 . Illevo: this product should be added to the Magnum Standard or Pioneer PPST treatment to give added protection for Sudden death syndrome

26 27

and soilborne nematodes . Combined with a high yielding soybean vari-ety that offers good Root knot nematode resistance, Illevo does a good job controlling cyst nematodes along with other species in our trials .

7 . PearlMax: this product can be added to any seed treatment option and takes away the stickiness that some treatments cause plus adds enough lubrication that talc and graphite can be eliminated or used at a reduced rate .

Notes:• Other treatment options are available such as inoculants, seed applied

nutrients, or growth stimulants that can also be mixed with Magnum Standard . Check with your DGA Marketer or local branch .

Notes• The number in red parenthesis by each herbicide is the mode of

action . Glyphosate products have no mode of action listed due to resistant weeds to this chemistry in our area .

• Roundup PowerMax II rates can range from 22-40 oz/acre de-pending on weed size and pressure .

• Sweet corn herbicide options are very limited as far as labeled products . Some varieties may be more sensitive to even labeled options more than others . Follow all label restrictions . Always put a good grass pre-emerge down as grass is the hardest weed to control in conventional sweet corn .

• Roundup Ready and Bt sweet corn varieties have started to enter the market in the last few years . Seed cost is high and supply is usually limited but have proven to be an excellent product . .

• A foliar fertilizer, such as Smart Trio, will speed recovery of the plant after a post emerge application . Also coverage and uptake into the plant will be improved .

Conversion Tables and Useful Formulasfor Spray Applications

Conversion Table1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons (0 .5 oz)

1 oz = 2 tablespoons

1 cup (1/2 pint) = 16 tablespoons (8 oz)

1 pint (2 cups) = 32 tablespoons (16 oz or 1 lb)

1 gallon (16 cups) = 8 pints or 4 quarts (8 .4 lb water)

1 cu ft = 7 .48 gal (62 .4 lb)

1 acre =43,560 sp ft

1 mph = 88 ft/min

FormulasAcres = Length (ft) x width (ft)/43,560

Number of Rows/A = 43, 560/Row width (ft) x row length (ft)

GPM (Per Nozzle) = GPA x mph x W/5,940

GPA = 5,940 x GPM (Per Nozzle)/mph x W

GPM – gallons per minute

GPA – gallons per acre

mph – miles per hour

W – nozzle spacing (in inches) for broadcast spraying

Speed (mph) = Distance (ft) x 60/Time (seconds) x 88
