Calculation method
Calculation method
Mean nozzle water flow (L/min)
Mean collected mL × 60 / (1000 × collection seconds).
Water application rate (L/ha)
600 × mean L/min / (speed km/h × nozzle spacing m).
Individual nozzle flows (L/min)
Each collected volume × 60 / (1000 × seconds).
Largest deviation from mean flow (%)
Largest absolute individual-flow deviation / mean flow × 100.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Water-only broadcast boom calibration at measured speed, spacing and collection time. Returns water rates and measured variation; it does not choose pressure, nozzles, pesticide dose or an acceptable uniformity threshold.
