Category B - Part 9/11: Application Equipment & Calibration (The Math of Success)

In this ninth installment of our Category B study series (Part 9 of 11), we tackle the most technically demanding section of the exam: Calibration. This episode covers Chapter 9, moving from the biology of pests to the physics of machinery. We break down the "Four Factors" that determine your application rate and demystify the math that keeps you legal. We also explore the critical maintenance routines for liquid and granular equipment, explaining why a worn nozzle or a humid day can ruin an entire application.

Key Topics Covered:

• The "Four Factors" of Calibration: Tank Capacity, Travel Speed, Flow Rate, and Swath Width. You need all four to determine your Acres per Tank.
• Liquid Application:
  • The 10% Rule: Why you must replace any n ...
