The above chart is for planters equipped with ground drive wheels that have 7.60 x 15 tires , 26 tooth drive
sprocket, and a 22 tooth driven. This chart is based on average wheel slippage and liquid viscosities. This
chart is also based on standard pump sprockets of 30 tooth drive and 16 tooth driven. Other sprockets are
available.
Measure and weigh one gallon of actual fertilizer solution to determine exact application rates. This chart
was calculated based on a solution weighing 10 pounds per gallon.
IMPORTANT: Fertilizer application rates can vary from the above chart. To prevent application
miscalculation, make field checks to be sure you are applying fertilizer to all rows at the desired rate.
NOTE: Flow to all rows should be checked periodically. If one or more lines are plugged, the desired rate
will be delivered to the remaining rows keeping total application rate at desired rate.
To check the exact number of gallons your fertilizer attachment will actually deliver on 30" row spacing,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the hose from one of the fertilizer openers and insert it into a collection container that has
been secured to the planter frame.
2. Engage the fertilizer attachment and drive forward for 174'.
3. Measure the fluid ounces caught in the container and multiply that amount by 100.
4. Divide that amount by 128.
5. The result will be the gallons of fertilizer delivered per acre when planting in 30" rows. Rinse the
collection container and repeat test on other rows if necessary. To convert this delivery rate for
wider rows, multiply by the following conversion factors:
For 36" rows, multiply by .83 by result
For 38" rows, multiply by .79 by result
