Which range of gallons per acre is associated with low-volume application?

• A. 75+ gpa
• B. 40-60 gpa
• C. 5 to 25 gpa
• D. 30-50 gpa

Answer: (C)

Low-volume application uses a small amount of water to carry the pesticide, so the product is concentrated and targeted. This is typically done at about 5 to 25 gallons per acre. Because there’s less liquid on the surface, precise calibration, nozzle choice, and spray quality are essential to get adequate coverage where you want it, while also managing drift and phytotoxicity risks.

Higher-volume ranges, such as around 30–50 gallons per acre or 40–60 gallons per acre, provide more total spray on the target and are used when thorough coverage is needed across larger or tougher canopies. Very high volumes (75+ gpa) are used for broad broadcast applications where the emphasis is on delivering a lot of liquid to the area.

So, the range that corresponds to low-volume application is 5 to 25 gallons per acre.
