A liquid formulation with the name "wet-stuff 90SL" indicates what
| | | | | | | | |
information about the product? - correct answer --It is a soluble
| | | | | | | | | | |
liquid
|
-That 90% of the total net weight of the product is active ingredient.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Are formula amounts that are mixed based on "amount of pesticide
| | | | | | | | | |
product" different than those based on "amount of active
| | | | | | | | |
ingredient"? - correct answer -YES, there IS a difference! For the
| | | | | | | | | | |
first, you simply weigh or measure out the amount of total product, for
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
active ingredient, you need to figure out how much active ingredient
| | | | | | | | | | |
there is per volume or weight unit.
| | | | | | |
What should you confirm with the label in regard to the amount of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
active ingredient prior to mixing any pesticide product? - correct
| | | | | | | | | |
answer -The label rate, and whether it is listed as:
| | | | | | | | | |
-Amount of FORMULATED product | | |
-Amount of ACTIVE INGREDIENT | | |
, P age | 2 | | | | |
What does "treatment progress rate" tell you? - correct answer -
| | | | | | | | | |
The amount of target site area treated per unit of flight time, aka
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Acres Per Minute (APM).
| | | |
What are the two variables than influence the treatment progress
| | | | | | | | |
rate? - correct answer --Swath width
| | | | | |
-Speed of the aircraft over the target site
| | | | | | |
What is the term that refers to the size, number, and arrangement of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
nozzles on a spray boom? - correct answer -"Nozzling"
| | | | | | | | |
Adjusting what (term) is the best way to make large changes in the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
boom output rate of an aircraft? - correct answer -"Nozzling"
| | | | | | | | | |
When calculating a treatment progress rate, what two things do you
| | | | | | | | | |
multiply and then divide by 495? - correct answer --Swath width
| | | | | | | | | | |
-Air speed
|
, P age | 3 | | | | |
What number is a constant when calculating treatment progress
| | | | | | | |
rate(APM)? - correct answer -495
| | | | |
If your swath width is 50ft, and your airspeed is 105mph, what is
| | | | | | | | | | | |
your estimated treatment progress rate? - correct answer -10.606
| | | | | | | | |
APM
|
What formulation of pesticides requires you to calibrate a sprayer
| | | | | | | | |
frequently? - correct answer -Wettable Powders. They tend to be
| | | | | | | | | |
course and wear the orifices, resulting in higher flow amounts.
| | | | | | | | | |
When is the best time for sprayer pattern testing? - correct answer -
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Early in the morning before the sun heats the ground and causes
| | | | | | | | | | |
thermal turbulence.
| |
In what direction with the wind should you fly when pattern testing? -
| | | | | | | | | | | |
correct answer -Fly the plane directly into the wind if there is any.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
What is the max wind speed that you should perform pattern testing
| | | | | | | | | | |
in? - correct answer -Less than 10mph
| | | | | | |
, P age | 4
| | | | |
What is the name of the group that performs spray pattern testing for
| | | | | | | | | | | |
aerial applicators using spray pattern analyzing computers? -
| | | | | | | |
correct answer -NAAA: National Aerial Applicators Association
| | | | | | |
How many yards prior to the testing line should you operate your
| | | | | | | | | | |
boom for before and after? - correct answer -100 yards
| | | | | | | | | |
What two things should you look for when pattern testing if using
| | | | | | | | | | |
visual evaluation? - correct answer --Light spray pattern near the
| | | | | | | | | |
flight centerline
| |
-Uneven spray densities towards the wingtips| | | | |
The effective swath width when measured on string or cards is
| | | | | | | | | |
where on a graph? - correct answer -The distance between the
| | | | | | | | | | |
midpoints of the sloping ends of the pattern.
| | | | | | | |
Spray pattern testing can help identify which different kinds of
| | | | | | | | |
problems? - correct answer --Leaks
| | | | |
-Nozzle problems |
