A hands-on spreader and sprayer calibration event is scheduled to be held at the Kent County Extension Office on June 7th. John Emerson from University of Delaware’s Cooperative Extension will be there to walk you through and demonstrate the proper calibration protocols for your sprayer and/or spreader. We will have a test course set up for the calibration of hose-end sprayers, backpack sprayers, and rotary spreaders (ride-on OR walk-behind). If you have new employees, or veteran employees who would like a refresher, this would be a great opportunity to get them hands-on experience in sprayer and spreader calibration training while obtaining Pesticide and Nutrient Management CEC requirements.
*We encourage you to bring your company’s equipment so we can calibrate it together. Although, there will be sufficient equipment provided to illustrate proper calibration methods.
There will be (9) 1-hour slots available from 9am-6pm with one person or group per hour with a maximum of 3 people per group. For example, a “group” would be 1-3 individuals from one particular business/operation. Once an hour-slot is taken it will no longer be available, so reserve your spot as soon as possible.
