You have a boom sprayer with a 6-metre boom and you want to apply imidacloprid at a

rate of 0.1 litres per hectare (l/ha). The nozzles are spaced every 75 cm with one on each

end of the boom. The average output/nozzle is 54 ml/second. The sprayer is equipped

with a 450 litre tank and will be used at a speed of 6.5 km per hour (km/h). You know that:

one hour = 3600 seconds; one litre = 1000 ml; one kilometer = 1000 m). Given this

information, calculate the rate of application and recommend changes required to achieve a

desired output of 200 litres per hectare (L/ha).
