To calculate product requirements, you need to know:
· Active ingredient (a.i. %) (AI)
· Area of application (ha) (A)
· Recommended rate of product or active ingredient (l or kg or g/ha) (RR), and
· Tank capacity (l)
The equation to calculate product requirements is:
If the recommended rate is for product (RRP) (e.g., 2 l product/ha), then
Amount of product required = RRP * area to be sprayed
If the recommended rate is for active ingredient (a.i.) (RRAI) (e.g., 150 g a.i./ha), then
Amount of product required = RRAI * (product/a.i.) * area
