Even where water quality is very unfavorable, using patented PetersExcel can give you optimal results. It stabilizes the pH while supply-ing magnesium and/or calcium. Excel provides higher levels of nitro-gen nitrate for immediate plant uptake. Excel is easy to use and canreduce or eliminate the need for acid injection, therefore reducingthe need for multiple stock tanks.

Better nutrient availabilityEasier to manage media pHOne tank mixingCan supply magnesium andcalcium in one feedingFlexibility to fine tune nutrition

Reduces or eliminates acid useLow pH of solution helps keep dripemitters cleanNo-stain dye25 lb bags

Begin by testing water quality. The basis for a well planned greenhouse fertility program is analyzing the water. Through wateranalysis, the grower can discover the alkalinity of the water andthe current levels of all nutrients. In addition, the water analysiscan point out potential problems, like high sodium and boron orlow magnesium and calcium.Based on water quality, select a Peters® Excel® product to fit yourneeds. Peters® Excel® fertilizers fit greenhouses with varying irrigation water types and differing plant needs.

Nitrogen Application Calibrator

Calculating Nutrient Amount Being Applied1. To find out how much nutrient is being applied, multiply the rate per acre by the percentage of nutrient in the product being applied.

example:

From the above calculations, apply 232 lbs per acre of 20-2-7 25% SCU, 25% ORG (Rate per acre x percentage nitrogen in 20-2-7 25% SCU, 25% ORG) divided by 45.36 = rate nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft.

(232 x 0.20) / 43.56 = 1.06 lb nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft.~or~

(Rate per 1,000 x percentage nitrogen in 20-2-7 25% SCU, 25% ORG) = rate nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft.5.32 x 0.20 = 1.06 lb nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft.

2. Repeat these calculations for other nutrients in your fertilizer.

Liquid Fertilizer Nutrients per Gallon1. Find the weight of one gallon of the liquid fertilizer.

2. Multiply the weight of one gallon by the percentage nutrient to obtain the weight of that nutrient per gallon liquid.

Example: 26-3-4 liquid fertilizer weighs 11.0 lbs per gallon

11.0 x 26% nitrogen = 2.81 lbs nitrogen per gallon 26-3-411.0 x 3% phosphorus = 0.32 lb phosphorus per gallon 26-3-4

11.0 x 4% potassium = 0.43 lb potassium per gallon 26-3-4___ lbs per gallon x ___ % nutrient = ___ lbs nutrient per gallon

Calibrating Your Granular Spreader1. Determine the rate of fertilizer per 1,000 sq. ft. based on nitrogen needs: Divide the pounds of nitrogen you need by the

percent of nitrogen in the formulation to get pounds of fertilizer you need per thousand square feet.

example:

28-3-5 fertilizer, need 1.00 lb nitrogen per thousand

1.00 lb nitrogen required / 0.23% nitrogen fertilizer = 3.57 pounds 28-3-5 per 1,000 sq. ft.___ lbs N / ___ % N = ___ lbs fertilizing product per 1,000 sq. ft. to apply

2. Find an open area at least 50’ long and get a bucket, calculator, tape measure, scale and 28-3-5 fertilizer to be calibrated.

3. Estimate the amount of 28-3-5 you will need for the test and place this in the spreader.

4. Set the spreader at the setting suggested in the bag for your spreader. This is a suggested setting only. The condition of your spreader (age and specific variations in your model) will cause differences in the actual setting and this suggested one.

5. Spread the material along the open area you have chosen. Walk at the pace you normally will during actual applications. Many spreaders are dependent on walking speed along with spreader settings. Start your walk before your measured start point to ensure accurate calculations.

6. Weigh the amount of material left in the spreader.

7. Measure the length and width of the area covered. Calculate this into square feet (length x width).

8. Calculate the amount applied per 1,000 sq. ft.

example:

4.0 lbs applied on 500 sq. ft.

2.0 lbs x (1,000 sq. ft. / 500 sq. ft.) = 4.0 lbs applied per 1,000 sq. ft.___ lbs x (1,000 sq. ft. / ___ sq. ft.) = ___ lbs applied per 1,000 sq. ft.

9. Adjust the spreader setting to adjust your rate to spread less material, and repeat the test process to spread 3.57 lbs fertilizer per 1,000 sq. ft. (to apply 1.0 pound nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft.).

10. Factors that affect spreader settings include walking speed, differences in granular size, moisture content of granulars, coatings, age and condition of spreader, amount of overlap and other similar conditions.

Calibrating Boom Sprayer Gallons per Minute1. Fill your tank half full with water (to stimulate actual conditions). Mark out a strip to be used to measure your speed. Using the

throttle and gear settings, measure the amount of time it takes to move through this area, entering the starting point at your regular speed. Calculate your speed in miles per hour.

example:

(3,600 x distance) divided by (5,280 x seconds) = miles per hourDistance = 200 ft., Time = 34 seconds

(3,600 x 200) / (5,280 x 34) = 4.0 miles per hour(3,600 x ___ ft.) / (5,280 x ___ seconds) = ___ miles per hour

2. Make sure all tips on the boom are the same size and rating. Record your setup information:Application volume: gallons per acre or gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. ….… 21 gallons per acre

Spray speed: miles per hour ………………………………………………..………. 4 mphNozzle spacing: inches …………………………………………………………. 20 inches

3. Calculate the required nozzle output. To determine this in gallons per minute (gpm), use one of these formulas:gpm = (gallons per acre x mph x nozzle spacing) divided by 5,980

~or~gpm = (gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. x mph x nozzle spacing) divided by 136

Example: (21 x 4 x 20) / 5,980 = 0.28 gpm(___ gallons per acre x ___ mph x ___ inches nozzle spacing) / 5,980 = ___ gpm

~or~(0.48 x 4 x 20) / 136 = 0.28 gpm

(___ gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. x ___ mph x ___ inches nozzle spacing) / 136 = ___ gpm

4. Set the correct pressure. Turn on the sprayer and check for leaks. Inspect and clean tips and strainers. Make sure you have the correct tip for your pressure and application needs as determined in Step 3. Turn on the sprayer and adjust it to the desired pressure, making sure your gauge is accurate.

5. Check for target flow. Collect water from one new nozzle for 1 minute. Compare this volume with the target flow rate calculated in Step 3. Recheck any rates over or under by 10% of the recommended rate. Fine-tune your rate with pressure adjustments. If two or more nozzles are found to be worn, replace all nozzles to ensure consistent, accurate spraying.

Calibrating Spray Gun Gallons per Minute1. Collect the spray from your gun during one minute of spraying at your normal pressure and tip.

2. Measure the amount of time needed to walk through 1,000 square feet.

3. Time needed to cover 1,000 square feet times the amount collected during spraying one minute equals the application rate per 1,000 square feet.

4. Adjust application rates by changing pressure, application speed or tip size.

example:

Collect 1.0 gallons in 1 minute, taking 2.5 minutes to walk 1,000 sq. ft.

1.0 x 2.5 = 2.5 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. being applied (if area covered 1,000 sq. ft.)___ gallons per minute x ___ minutes walking = ___ gallons per 1,000 sq. ft.

~or~if covered an area that was not 1,000 sq. ft.:

___ gallons per minute x 1,000/___ sq. ft. covered = ___ gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. applied

Calibrating Backpack Sprayer Gallons

per 1,000 Square Feet1. Add a measured amount of water to your sprayer.

2. Spray an area measuring exactly 1,000 sq. ft. (Example: 10 ft. x 100 ft.) Walk at a constant speed as you would during normal operations, holding your nozzle at your normal height.

3. Measure the amount of water left in the sprayer. Subtract this from what you started with. The amount used is the amount sprayed per thousand square feet.

4. Increase rates by walking more slowly or using a larger tip. Decrease rates by walking faster or using a smaller tip.

example:

3 gallons starting, 1 gallon ending3 – 1 = 2 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. being applied

___ gallons start – ___ gallons end = ___ gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. (if use 1,000 sq. ft. as your area)~or~

if covered an area that was not 1,000 sq. ft.:(___ gallons start – ___ gallons end) x 1,000 / ___ sq. ft. covered = ___ gallons per 1,000 sq. ft.
