| I may hire a drone to spray fungicide... The usual drone spraying rate is 2 gallons per acre. The estimates of the number of drops of water in a gallon vary wildly but... "A US gallon contains approximately 76,800 drops of water" which means there are 153,600 drops in two gallons. With a corn population of 30,000 plants per acre each plant receives about 5 (five) drops of spray. I know that spray nozzles produce smaller drops but balancing that is the fact that not all of the spray lands on a leaf.
How can 5 drops of fungicide spray per corn plant protect a whole bunch of leaves from disease?
Does anyone really know or has it just been observed to work?
I like driving myself crazy. | |
