How do I calculate product amounts for unknown formulations?

back

ARM can calculate a product amount for an unknown formulation if the rate unit does not reference active ingredient. For example, for a rate of 1 liter product per hectare, ARM only needs to know that the product is a liquid formulation in order to calculate the product amount on a spray/seeding plan report.

Another example is if the formulation is 3800 PPM, then the formulation concentration is 0.38% (10000 PPM is 1%). ARM can use a percentage formulation if the formulation concentration unit field is visible, and a formulation concentration unit that begins with % is entered. The density field must also be available, and if density of the active ingredient is not known a density estimate of 1 is used.

If the formulation concentration unit and density fields are not visible in the treatment editor for a particular study, select Window, Settings to display the Settings window. Next, select the Treatment tab, and then scroll the list of treatment fields (columns) to see defined field lengths and the Visible setting for each treatment field. Use this window to select which treatment fields are visible in the editor and also select the field length from a defined range. Any length set to zero "0" hides the field even if a check mark is present in the "Visible" checkbox.
