In a 15-gallon Dosatron keg, a grower would need to treat 960 acres to use the entire batch.
In a 15-gallon Dosatron keg, growers have the flexibility to treat as few as 153 acres.
At three minutes per acre, it would take 48 hours to plant 960 acres. And that does not include the time it would take to refill seed. Even with a 24-row planter, you can only plant 120 acres without refilling the planter box. So why waste money mixing insecticide you will not use just to avoid refilling your tank? True efficiency means maximizing your ROI by using only what you need. Choose INDEX® Liquid At-Plant Insecticide.
