I want to be more precise on the spray volume (the amount of water added to the tractor-mounted tanker) to apply nutrients using drench system. I don't have time and resources to calibrate. Most of the calibrations in the literature are either for pesticides (at least 2000L/ha aiming to kill the soil born pathogens or pests deep in the soil) or for herbicides (50 to 1000L/ha). I am using a blend of essential nutrients and supplements. How much water (spray volume) per hectare or acre should I use for the nutrient application rate of 4ml/L? Any idea or references? Thanks.

I think you should go to some special company address to get the idea. We usually do this in laboratory. It is not the same as the large area application.
