TRV/TCA calculator

Future Orchards® tool | Tree Row Volume / Tree Canopy Area calculator

This spreadsheet supports orchard spray calibration using Tree Row Volume (TRV) and Tree Canopy Area (TCA) concepts. These approaches help relate spray application volume to the physical size of the target canopy rather than applying a fixed volume to every block regardless of tree size or row geometry.

The calculator is intended for use with measured orchard dimensions such as canopy height, canopy width and row spacing. Those measurements can then be used to estimate an appropriate basis for comparing blocks or adjusting application volume as canopies change through the season.

The archived library does not provide a standalone publication date for this calculator. It is best used alongside the Future Orchards® spray-application notes and a physical sprayer calibration.
