It's early in the morning. The sun is up, the sky is clear, and the wind... calm. Conditions are just perfect for that long overdue spray held back by the recent drizzly days. There's no time to waste. 'Have to do it as soon as possible! But wait. I need to figure out the application rate. What did I use last time? Hey, where's my calculator? How about my unit conversion table, I know I filed it in the spray log folder? Hmmm... the recommended pesticide rate is in pints and the sprayer was calibrated in gallons. I not only have to do the rate calculation but also do a unit conversion as well. Good grief. I know I had it already calculated before but where did I put it? There must be an easier way to do these calculations...

Is the above scenario familiar to you? If your answer is yes then don't despair, you are not alone. Each one of us pesticide users has to play and experience the same role over and over again because there is not a tool out there that would help us do the pesticide rate and unit conversion calculations... that is until now. Worry no more. Your days of fumbling with the calculator and conversion table is finally over. Do away with that spreadsheet macro with hard-to-remember combination keys. Beginning today, Agrosoft Systems is making available PestCalc for Windows©. PestCalc for Windows© is a dedicated pesticide rate and unit conversion calculation software designed to address calculation problems many of us come across every so often as pesticide applicators. With it, you'll be doing your own calculation in no time! Just enter the area and select the unit of area from the pull down menu, enter the recommended rate for the pesticide and select unit from a pull down menu, enter the optional overage factor (if you need to), then click on the "calculate" button. That's it! You'll have the answer in an instant. You need an answer in liters instead of gallons? No problem. Select the desired unit from the pull down menu in the Calculated Result box and PestCalc for Windows© will re-calculate the answer automatically without the need to click on the "calculate" button again. Pesticide rate calculation is just one of the operations that you can do with PestCalc for Windows©. Take a look at some of the software's screen shots (382 KB).
