Ready. Formula is gallons per tree per hour divided by tree area, times 1.6.

Formulas

Plain math, no clutter.

Emitters per tree = tree spacing in feet × 12 ÷ emitter spacing in inches × lines per row
Gross gallons/tree/hour = emitters per tree × emitter output
Gross application rate = gross gallons/tree/hour ÷ (row spacing × tree spacing) × 1.6
Net output = gross × DU
Manual Application Rate Formula Application Rate (in/hr) = Emitter Output (GPH) × 231.1 / (Row Spacing (in) × Emitter Spacing (in))
For dual line drip, divide emitter spacing by 2 before calculating.
