This picture is from when I went to a field in Sudlersville to rate how much and how big the Palmer Amaranth were to time out spraying. This shows the biggest Palmer plant in the trial field. Critical thinking during this internship is very important and comes in handy a lot more than I thought it would. The main time I have to use critical thinking is when we are preparing to spray certain fields with pesticides. We have to calculate how much of each chemical we are going to add, into which conta iner, with how much water, and with what other chemicals in order to get the correct GPA sprayed for each pesticide. I have had to use equations from multiple math classes that I thought I would never use again after the class. It feels good to finally use the material I had learned from all of these classes, it makes the time spent feel worth it. To make this process go faster in the future, I took a picture of the equations needed to more easily remember how to solve them. I feel like there...
