When it comes to agricultural spraying, precision is key. One of the best tools at your disposal is the TeeJet rate chart. These charts are designed to help you determine the right flow rates for your specific application needs, ensuring that you achieve the best results while using your equipment efficiently.

Using a TeeJet rate chart can seem daunting at first, but with a little guidance, you’ll find it to be an invaluable resource. The charts provide a clear overview of various nozzle types, their corresponding flow rates, and the pressure settings needed to achieve those rates. This information is crucial for ensuring that your crops receive the right amount of product without waste.

To get started, first identify the type of nozzle you are using. TeeJet offers a variety of nozzles, each designed for different applications and spray patterns. Once you’ve determined your nozzle type, locate it on the rate chart. For Australian application, we refer to litres per minute (LPM).

Next, you’ll need to decide on the pressure at which you’ll be operating your sprayer. The rate chart will show you how the flow rate changes with different pressure settings. It’s important to select a pressure that not only meets your application needs but also falls within the recommended range for your nozzle type. This will help you avoid issues such as drift or uneven coverage.

As you refer to the chart below, keep in mind that environmental factors can also affect your spraying efficiency. Wind speed, temperature, and humidity can all influence how your spray behaves once it leaves the nozzle. Therefore, it’s wise to adjust your settings based on current conditions to ensure optimal performance.

In summary, utilizing a TeeJet rate chart is a straightforward way to enhance your spraying operations. By understanding how to read the chart and apply its information, you can ensure that your agricultural practices are both effective and efficient. Remember, the goal is to provide your crops with the right amount of product while minimizing waste and maximizing results.
