Final answer:
Buying the right chemical option (d) is not a part of the calibration process; calibration involves configuring equipment for correct substance application by determining actual travel speed, collecting nozzle discharge, and checking nozzle pressure.
Step-by-step explanation:
The step NOT a part of the calibration process when setting up equipment for application is d. Buying the right chemical. Calibration involves configuring equipment to deliver the correct amount of substance at the right rate and is an essential step for achieving the desired efficacy and avoiding wastage or environmental harm. Thus, the calibration process includes:
- Determining actual travel speed to ensure the application is made at the correct rate.
- Collecting nozzle discharge to verify that the equipment dispenses the correct amount of product.
- Checking the pressure at the nozzle because this affects the spraying pattern and rate.
Buying the right chemical, however, is related to product selection and not the technical calibration of application equipment.
