weevil sparying

[mark Fitzsimmons]

Can anyone help on the price per hector for weevil spraying thanks

[Valtra1982]

Price for chemical or labour or both.

[mark Fitzsimmons]

Labour and chemicals mate cheers

[Valtra1982]

Labour costs I can't help you with as I'm an estate forester. It is labour extensive process tho.

 

chemical cost I can give you a rough idea.

 

How many trees per hectare are planted?

There is two thousand five hundred per hec mate cheers would you just put man days on a job like that and how many hectors per day per man roughly do you think

[Valtra1982]

I'd do it by day. We work in team of 3 we'll do at a pure guess 2-3 acres a day but I'd need to check my diary tomorrow to give you a defiant answer. Our restock sites are terrible really steep so it makes it slow work.

 

The main chemical used now a days is forester. Mix rate is 20ml chemical per 1lt water. It goes on at 10-20ml diluted per tree... Or rough scoosh lol

 

I can get the price of 5 ltrs tomorrow when I'm in the office.

Yew wood have to say what weevils you were sparying and how many hectors to get a defiant answer.

£150-180 per hectare inc chemical (Forester) for one treatment, knapsack application rather than drench gun.

[mark Fitzsimmons]

Is it not easyer with the drench gun and would it be a different price to do it that way mate

[Max Plank]

Drench gun will give the correct measured dose so you will probably use less chemical but I think you will find it quicker with a knapsack sprayer
