How does Farmable calculate the tank mix?

Learn how the spray calculator and/or fertilizer calculator works

Written by Enja Matthee

The tank mix for your spray, fertilizer and fertigate jobs is calculated using the size of the drawn field and the application rate per ha/sqm/ac.

By default, Farmable is using the size of the field that is automatically calculated based on the GPS-coordinates of the drawn field.

Check out this example of how the updated calculator works for a sample job. Values used from the parameters set in the job set-up (sample data only):

1. Total Field Area = 6Ha

2. Product Application Rate = 150g/Ha

3. Equipment Tank Capacity = 2500 L

4. Equipment Application Rate = 500 L /Ha

Calculation

  1. Total Field Area (6 Ha) * Product Application Rate (150g/Ha) = Total product required (900g)

  2. Equipment Application Rate (500L/Ha) - Product Application Rate (150 g/Ha) = Water Required Per Ha (499.85L / Ha)

  3. Total Job Requirement: 2999.1 L Water + 900g (Flint 500WG)

    1. Per Tank Requirement: 2499.25 L Water + 750g (Flint 500WG)

    2. Last Tank Requirement: 499.85 L Water + 150g (Flint 500WG)
