Q. How do I create a Blend Ticket by the acre but calculate certain products on the blend per ton or per 100 gallons?
A. 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
Select the products, input the Rate/Acre for all the products except Agrotain, and then select the Recalc using Rate/Acre button.
Note: An analysis can be optionally formulated to calculate the products and Rate/Acre.
Left-click in the Rate/Acre cell of Agrotain to highlight the cell blue. Right-click 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 the UnTag All button, and 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 Lbs of Urea.
Click the Done button, and the Rate/Acre of Agrotain is calculated from the total quantity of Urea in the blend.
Example 2: Chemical Blend Ticket Using Liberty, Section 3, Amsol Dry, and Water
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.
