I have never sprayed much with a boom sprayer, but this spring I am spraying 15 acres of clearfield sunflowers so I am going to spray a tank mix of Spartan 4f, Dual Magnum, and Roundup as a tank mix pre-emergent. I will also be spraying a post-emergent of beyond. My question is when buying new nozzles there is a chart on the back of the package that say so many gallons per acre at certain speed. Is that for the whole boom or single nozzle? example it says 12 gallons per acre that is alot of spray from one nozzle. If you had 8 nozzles that is 96 gallons per acre which is way to much!! I am thinking if you had one nozzle it would take a long time to cover one acre so you would get 12 gallons out of that one nozzle, but with 8 nozzles it would take 1/8 of the time so you would still get 12 gallons per acre because it took 1/8 of the time to cover a acre compared to just one nozzle is that right? So really no matter how many nozzles you would still get the same gallons per acre because you are dividing the time it took to cover the acre. This is with a 20" nozzle spacing.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
