Calibration of Pesticide Application Equipment

Proper setting and calibration of pesticide equipment is critical to placing the correct amount of material where you want it.  Involved is the cost of the product and safety of the environment.  James Rogers of the Noble Foundation prepares to check the calibration of the broadcast nozzles on this sprayer.  For this demonstration he is using clean water for safety. 

 

Dr. Evan Whitley of the Noble Foundation fields questions about the circular working chute for cattle. Pros and cons of the set of pens were discussed.  Small man-gates between pens seemed to be a needed to save time and steps when working cattle.

 


Noble Foundation tourists from Fannin County inspect the covered working pens and circular chute designed with the help of the University of Oklahoma
