Calibrating your ATV, UTV, or backpack sprayer shouldn't be a hard thing to do unless you listen to some of the agricultural advice out there. Why? Because for food plotters, backyard enthusiasts and landowners in general, do not use sophisticated ag equipment to herbicide or spray their landscape. Here is how to calibrate your herbicide and habitat sprayer...

I have a 25 gallon sprayer for my ATV with a boom and two nozzles. I use your method of applying the recommended ounces per acre and crop oil if called for. Until you figure out what rate your tank empties and at what speed, I start with the full 25 gallons per acre. In my opinion, it is better to make a few extra passes over the same ground than to run out of product half way through and realize you just dumped enough chemical on half an acre that should be applied to the entire acre.

This is my second year planting food plots for Columbian blacktail of the Year using your tips and tricks for the whitetail have to modify them here and there for the deer around here. But for the most part it works across the board for them tripling the size of the food plot new trails established and water holes put in looking branches hung mineral sites dropped in. Learn so much in the last year it's crazy from this channel

All your videos are informative. It's awesome. Thank y'all for all the hard work and dedication to the cause.

@scottpavek236 Год назад

Great timing. I was just wondering about this topic as I’m gearing up for spraying. Thanks guys!!

@janitorialguy4436 Год назад

Thanks Jeff, always informative

@justinjhauser5110 Год назад

Thanks Jeff! I always thought that the more water you use , the more it would dilute the chemical. This helped me alot!

@nickbayly617 Год назад

I would love a video, if you don’t already have one, that covers all the equipment you use for food plots and habitat management. It would be great to see a DIY setup versus what you use professionally

@DennisDickman-ek8cw Год назад

Thank you I’ve been trying to figure this out and how to do it!

You are very welcome Dennis!

Best video breakdown I've seen. Confident I did it right! with my new sprayer (you caused me to buy)lol

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Год назад

Ha, that's great to hear Tim!! Really appreciate it!

@Mossy-back-blacktail Год назад

Also where can I get that hat!! you're wearing I took a look at the website and they only have 3 available and it's not that one

@MrRABland Год назад

Why would you use PlotStart after you've already adjusted the soil pH with lime?

@tgauge44 Год назад

Anyone use granular simazine? Our local co-op only sells it that way. How many pounds do you use per acre?

When tank mixing 2,4-D and glyphosate, what is your order of adding ingredients? 1/2 tank of water, 2,4-D, mix with pump, then add gly and top off with water?

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 10 месяцев назад

Hi Ken! I fill almost to the top, then add the chemicals. Have done the same for about 25 years on thousands of acres of sprayings and it works GREAT!

@phillyb1893 Год назад

Jeff, are you using 41% or 54% glyphosate for 2 quarts/ acre??

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Год назад

41% Glyphosate...

@anthonymalueg3520 Год назад

So my question is how do we get gallons per acre figured out we just have to spray an acre of maybe just water

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Год назад

Hi Tony...yes. then you can add the appropriate amount of chemical to your tank...knowing what your coverage rate is with your sprayer. You should always spray based on a unit of measurement of chemical PER ACRE, not ounces per gallon, etc.

@alanwhite4839 Год назад

I like my boomless sprayer. Less time cleaning ports and damaging the booms.

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Год назад

I just hate they are so incredibly inaccurate...I have too much valuable habitat alongside my plots. N rd the precision 😉

@alanwhite4839 Год назад

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I have a really good one and adjusted to spray exactly the width of my tractor wheels.

@mikemellon80 Год назад

if I've never sprayed before with an atv sprayer, how do I figure out how much water i'll use. do i just do a test run with water only? see how much i use then do it for real? thats the only way i can figure out how much water my atv sprayer will use

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Год назад

Hi Mike...that's what I explain in the video 🙂

@mikemellon80 Год назад

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 yeah, I just didn't know if there was a better way to figure out water usage than just literally running the sprayer dry

@jamesfarrow2130 Год назад

@@mikemellon80 I figured out a comfortable speed to drive(drive in the field to get a feel), went to asphalt road, put a gallon of water in, sprayed until I ran out of water, multiplied width by length in square feet . I got about 420 square feet, there are 43560 sq feet /acre so one gallon did about a tenth of an acre which means 10 gallons per acre. remember to watch your speed, easier to drive faster on asphalt, easy to see water on pavement. Hope this helps, it worked for me

@mikemellon80 Год назад

@@jamesfarrow2130 that’s perfect. I didn’t think about just doing one gallon vs filling the tank. You are a genius.

@kylewhalley3573 Год назад

@@jamesfarrow2130 I fee like your math is wrong there, if 1 gallon gets 420sf, then should you use 100gallons for an acre??

@dkdogs Год назад

How is it not diluting the chemicals by adding more water? 15 gallons at 2qts per acre in theory would be stronger than 30 gallons with the same 2qts??

@jamesfarrow2130 Год назад

hey Iowa, 2 qts per acre chemical equals 2 qts per acre chemical. The water only carries the chemical, the weeds only know they got hit by 2 qts per gallon. Unless you use so much water it carries the chemical off the plant, hope this helps

@dkdogs Год назад

@@jamesfarrow2130 that’s what I thought as well. I recently talked to a chemical person who stated it dilutes the solution and suggested the oz per gallon option. Thanks for clearing that up.

@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Год назад

Definitely...same amount of chemical applied per acre...doesn't matter if you use 30 gallons of water to deliver 2 quarts or 5 gallons to deliver 2 quarts of chemical....still 2 quarts per acre.
