( GPA^ X^ MPH X^ ER X^ ) G.P.A. The venturi style atomizer on a Cima sprayer provides more droplets for better coverage using less water at a higher concentration. For a typical application the Cima sprayer will use approximately 35 gallons of water per acre, compared to 100 gallons of water per acre for a conventional sprayer.

(^500) Gallons Per Hour

1. “ER” Effective Range – Width in feet of Row spacing multiplied by the number of rows being sprayed.
2. “M.P.H.” - “M.P.H.” - Check your actual tractor MPH. on the terra in you are spraying on. Set the tractor throttle at 540 RPM PTO speed and select a tractor

example: 35 3.0 10 60 = gear comfortable for spraying. Measure the distance traveled in 1 minute, divide by 88 will equal M.P.H.
