The Equation

This calculator uses this formula to determine the 1" application time

Where:

= Time it takes to complete a cycle while applying 1" (hrs)

= Irrigated Area (acres)

= Flow rate at the pivot (gpm)

= Percent of full circle being irrigated (as a decimal)

= Irrigation efficiency (as a decimal)
