Temperature Conversions

^oC  =  ^oF - 32
              1.8

^oF  =  (^oC x  1.8) + 32

Yield Estimates

Harvest potatoes from several 10-ft sections of row, calculate the average wt. in lbs, then multiply by the following numbers to estimate approximate yield/acre in cwt.

            Approximate Cwt/Acre = lbs/10 ft. x Multiplication Factor

Row Width, Inches	Multiplication Factor
33	16.4
34	15.4
36	14.5

Potato Weights & Volumes
 
 

1 lb/acre = 1.12 kilogram/hectare	1 kilogram/hectare = 0.892 lb/acre
1 cwt/acre = 0.112 metric tons/hectare	1 metric ton/hectare = 8.93 cwt/acre
1 bushel of potatoes = 53 lbs	1 bushel = 1.244 cu ft = 35.2 liter
1 cu ft of potatoes = about 42 lbs	1 cwt of potatoes = 2.38 cu ft
42 lbs/cu ft = 672.5 kg/cubic meter	1 barrel = 11 pks = 165 lb = 3.93 cu ft = 0.11 cu meter
1 short ton = 2000 lb	1 metric ton = 2204.6 lb

Sprayer Calibration

Broadcast Sprayer Calibration:
 

Gallons/acre    =    (5940 x gallons/minute/nozzle)/(nozzle spacing in inches x mph)
    Example              (5940 x 0.35 gpm)/(18 inches x 4.5 mph)    =     25.7 gpa

Band Sprayer Calibration:
 

Gallons/acre     =    (5940 x gpm/nozzle)/(nozzle band width x mph)
    Example              (5940 x 0.35 gpm)/(12-inch band x 4.5 mph)     =    38.5 gpa
