The Rate/Acre Calculator is built into the Blend Ticket and Field Plan to calculate certain products per ton or per 100 gallons when creating a Blend Ticket by the acre. This tool calculates product amounts to use in dry fertilizer and chemical blends such as Agrotain, Nutrisphere, and surfactants.
- Example 1 – Dry fertilizer Blend Ticket with Urea, Dap, Potash, and Agrotain Nitrogen Stabilizer to treat the Urea
- Example 2 – Chemical Blend Ticket using Liberty, Section 3, Amsol Dry, and Water
Example 1
- Select the Products, enter the Rate/Acre for all the Products except Agrotain, then select Recalc using Rate/Acre.
- Note: An analysis can be optionally formulated to calculate the Products and Rate/Acre.
- Right-click the Rate/Acre cell of Agrotain to open the Rate/Acre Calculator window.
- Uncheck all Products except Urea so the rate/ton of Agrotain is calculated based on only the quantity of Urea in the blend. Another option is to select UnTag All then select the Urea Product.
- Enter the rate of Agrotain per 2000 lbs of Urea to be applied. For this example, Agrotain is going to be applied at 2 Qts Per 2000 Pounds of Urea.
- Upon selecting Done, the Rate/Acre of Agrotain is calculated from the total quantity of Urea in the blend.
Example 2
- Select the Products and enter the Rate/Acre for all Products except Amsol Dry. In this example, the Water was calculated using the Adjust Water to Gal/Acre option.
- Left-click in the Rate/Acre cell of Amsol Dry to highlight the cell blue. Right-click to open the Rate/Acre Calculator window.
- Leave all products checked to calculate the rate of Amsol Dry based on the total gallons of solution. Enter the rate per 100 gallons of solution. This example uses a rate of 8 Lbs Per 100 Gallons of solution.
- Once the rate per 100 gallons has been entered, select the Done button. The Rate/Acre of Amsol Dry is calculated based on the total gallons of the solution.
