@LowBoomLowDrift @Tedthekelpie I found this research paper reporting spray rates of 1000-3000L/ha in vegetable crops. (“10a” =1/10 a hectare), so roughly 100-320 gal/acre. Interesting! acis.famic.go.jp/acis/chouken/c…

TIL crop protection spray volumes in Japan are much higher than the US. Where a US farmer might use 50-100 gal/acre of water, the Japanese farmer prefers 200-300 gal/acre. 😳 It’s fascinating how different countries solve the same problem in different ways.

@LowBoomLowDrift The way I heard it explained was habit and preference. I can guess with smaller field sizes hauling that much volume is not as big an issue. 🤷

@LowBoomLowDrift @Qshizzle97 I should have clarified this was in the context of specialty and orchard crops. Still I was totally surprised too b/c I’d never heard of rates this high…except for maybe in turf.

Great looking system @bandedagllc. Even better: seeing someone on X say “I was wrong & I learned something.” We could all use more of this.

It’s no secret I’ve not been a fan of covers or fall stripping. I challenged myself hard over the past year to learn more about this system. With what I saw today, I can say I’ve NEVER been more wrong. We achieved our goal, beautiful strips to plant on with covers in between.
