Application Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Application Rate is:

\[ APP = \frac{G}{A} \]

Where:

\(APP\) is the Application Rate (gallons/acre)
\(G\) is the total amount of gallons used
\(A\) is the total acres covered

What is Application Rate?

Application rate refers to the amount of a substance (such as water, fertilizer, or pesticide) applied per unit area. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of the substance used by the total area covered. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the correct amount of substance is applied to achieve the desired effect without wastage or over-application.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Amount of Gallons Used (G) = 100 gallons
Total Acres Covered (A) = 20 acres

Using the formula:

\[ APP = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \text{ gallons/acre} \]

The Application Rate (APP) is 5 gallons/acre.
