Row Fertilizer Calibration

To maintain a healthy, beautiful garden or lawn it’s important that your row fertilizer calibration is exactly where it needs to be. In other words, lawns and gardens need a uniform amount of fertilizer applied across the entire area in order to maintain proper health. As such, any equipment you use (such as sprayers, hoses, etc.) has to be calibrated in order to ensure even application of the fertilizer. Too much fertilizer can actually damage your lawn or garden, or potentially harm you. Luckily, there are easy ways to ensure proper calibration.

In order to ensure a healthy lawn or garden, you must use fertilizers properly. Misuse of fertilizers or improper calibration will cause more damage than necessary. Using too much can cause toxic burn to your lawn or plants. Conversely, too little product can cause the plants to die due to lack of sufficient nutrients. Thus, the only way to be sure your landscaping is getting the proper amount of fertilizer is to calibrate your application equipment. Calibrating sprayers and other applicators is not as difficult as you might think, and can be done quickly with little effort on your part. By testing the applicator and performing a few simple calculations, you’ll have your fertilizer sprayer or spreader calibrated in no time.

There are different techniques used to calibrate different applicator types (spreaders, sprayers, granules) but in essence they are all similar to one another, and all relatively easy to do. In the end, calibrating your applicator is worth it for the assurance that your landscaping is getting all the proper nutrients it needs to maintain a healthy appearance and promote new growth. No one wants to waste time on their lawn or garden without taking the proper steps to ensure good health, and row fertilizer calibration takes little time and effort on your part to maintain a beautiful lawn.
