All pesticides packaged after January 1st, 1981, are in metric. Some companies have an inventory of imperial sizes, which will be sold first. Much of the liquid products will be in metric, with the 10 litre (L) jug being a favourite size. Many companies have the 20L pail, and some have a 200L drum. During the spring, the imperial sizes will be used up, replaced by metric units. This conversion makes for a difficult situation, as sprays operators will need to understand both labels. To help compre- hend the metric system it is suggested that you pace off the distance from the house to the barn. If you're average height, your pace is 1 metre (1 yard plus 3 inches). How many paces was it? ( In the corner of a field, you can walk 100 steps down one fence, put a stake in. Then walk down the other side 100 steps and put in another stake. Squared off, this is a hectare. If you would rather not walk the farm, you can use this conversion: (acres x 0.4 = hectares (ha)). Draw a map of your farm, marking in the fields. Under the number of acres in each field put in the number of hectares. Now you have the field sizes as a handy reference. Old sprayers will lie to be re-calibrated. Many new sprayers have a level indicator tube marked in gallons and litres. With a permanent marker and an old 'Lasso pail', which is 20L, full, one can gradually till the tank, pail by pail. If the tank ►s already marked in gallons, one can take a pocket calcUlator and mark in the corresponding number of litres. The conversions are: (U.S. gallon x 3.79 = L; Imperial gallon x 4.55 = L). Field sizes seldom work out perfect for the amounts in the pesticide packages. A 5L or .10L plastic jug, marked in litres (or even half litres) would be a handy tool for measuring out liquids. Wettable powders can be measured out as a portion of the product bag. When you're ready to go into the field, you can step off 50 steps (50 m). With a calibration bottle you can check output in metric by driving this distance at your normal speed. 200mL in the bottle equal 80L/ha of spray. Previously, you should check to see if output from each nozzle is the same. If not,, get new nozzles. Reading the label will be of paramount importance. Some labels will have conver- sions on them, but others will be metric only. A handy conversin for spray (water) rat_ is: (gallon/acre x 11.2 = L/ha). Old pressure gauges will be in pounds per square inch (p.s.i.). The conversion is: (p.s.i., x 6.89 = kilopascals (kPa)). Application rates in the past have been a problem. Weeds have been missed and crops have been injured. This year, all spray operators will be on their 'toes' to get the correct rate. With some pre-planning and some care, this will be a year• of less than expected spray problems.
