Check the spreading width of your spreader, for example it may be 2 metres wide (W) 2. Measure the treating area (length), for example it may be 10 metres long (L) 3. Area = W x L, using the example metrics above that would be 2 m x 10 m = 20 m² 4. Measure enough product to cover 20 m²; a. For the higher rate of 1.5 kg / 100 m² = 300 g to treat 20 m² b. For the lower rate of 750 g / 100 m² = 150 g to treat 20 m² 5. Set the gauge on the side of the spreader to setting 3 (depending on your walking speed) 6. Add the measured amount of ACELEPRYN® GR to the hopper 7. Now walk the measured area of 20 m², while selecting a walking and handle turning speed to cover the area (approximately one handle turn per step at a medium walking pace) 8. If step 7 is not accurate, repeat steps 2 to 7 across another measured area until the desired application rate is applied 9. Once the correct handle turning speed and walking speed has been determined, then the hopper can be filled, and broader application can begin. *** # Spreader settings | Manufacturer | Model | Effective Swath Width (m) | Spreader Settings according to Application Rate | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | | **750 g/100m²** | **1.5 kg/100m²** | | Vicon | 3 | 6 | 11.5 | 17 | | Scotts | R8A | 3.5 (Cone 5) | H ¼ | J ½ | | Scotts | SR2000 | 3.5 (Cone 5) | H ¼ | J ½ | | Cyclone | CB4000 | 1.2 | 3 ¾ | 4 ¼ | # How to use For optimal control, irrigate with approximately 6 mm of water immediately after application.
