Real time control of precision fluid delivery
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The system uses a pump in combination with a fluid regulator to obtain and disperse fluid from the fluid tanks. The fluid regulator includes a fluid input port, a fluid output port and a fluid control valve. A first tube fluidly coupled from the fluid pump to the fluid input port. The system includes a moveable treatment head having one or more spraying tips, including a first spraying tip. A second tube is fluidly coupled from the fluid output port to the moveable treatment head. A system includes a controller configured to provide to the fluid regulator to open and close the fluid control valve to release an amount of the first fluid.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MACHINERY FOR RANDOMIZING AND REPLICATING PREDETERMINED ARGONOMIC INPUT LEVELS
A controller is operatively connected to a dispensing system and configured to change the dispensement of an agricultural input from the dispensing system in different predetermined locations within at least one predefined test plot in a management zone of an agricultural field. The predetermined locations have been randomized and replicated for quantifying the agronomic response in a statistically valid manner.
VISION BASED TARGETING OF AGRICULTURAL OBJECTS
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The agricultural treatment system may receive captured sensor data of an agricultural environment by one or more image capture devices, generate a first image from the captured sensor data, detect a first real-world agricultural object from the first image, determine a first pose of the first real-world agricultural object, identify the detected first real-world agricultural object as a new agricultural object or a preidentified agricultural object, and determine a treatment policy associated with the first real-world agricultural object.
SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR DISPENSING MULTIPLE AND LOW RATE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
A system for dispensing agricultural products includes an agricultural product container having a memory circuit associated therewith for storing data, the stored data including data unique to the container and the quantity of material dispensed including specific rates of application. An application rate meter device is operatively connected to the agricultural product container and is configured to dispense the agricultural product from the agricultural product container. Precision placement equipment includes a placement tube assembly operatively connected to the application rate meter device to place the agricultural products in the desired locations for efficient activity of the agricultural product. Each placement tube assembly is mounted between depth wheels of a depth control wheel assembly of a planter for placement of product in-furrow between the depth wheels.
System and method for dispensing multiple low rate agricultural products
A system for dispensing multiple low rate agricultural products that includes a multiple low rate agricultural (MLRA) product application device configured to cooperate with a planting equipment monitor assembly positioned to sense a seed being discharged from high speed planting equipment. Each MLRA product application device comprises a common housing for a number of low rate agricultural product input assemblies.
Applicator With Multiple Offset Booms And Method Of Controlling The Same
An agricultural product delivery applicator for delivering particulate product to a field. The applicator includes a supply compartment to hold the product, a pneumatic conveying system, a metering system, and a controller. The pneumatic conveying system includes first delivery line operably connected to an airflow source and to the supply compartment, and a second delivery line operably connected to the airflow source and to the supply compartment. The metering system includes a first metering device associated with the first delivery line and a second metering device associate with the second delivery line. The controller controls the air flow source, the first metering device to meter product to result in a first mixed flow of airflow and product for the first delivery line, and the second metering device to meter product with the airflow to result in a second mixed flow of airflow and product for the second delivery line.
Multi-fluid spray system and method for agricultural product application
A method of spraying multiple fluids from an agricultural machine includes supplying a first working fluid from a first source to a first spray nozzle, and supplying a second working fluid from a second source to the first spray nozzle. The method also includes operating at least one valve in the first spray nozzle to control flow of the first working fluid from the first source to one or more outlets of the first spray nozzle, and operating the at least one valve in the first spray nozzle to control flow of the second working fluid from the second source to the one or more outlets of the first spray nozzle. The method further includes selectively spraying the first working fluid through the one or more outlets of the first spray nozzle, and selectively spraying the second working fluid through the one or more outlets of the first spray nozzle.
POWDERED SCENT COMPOUND
A powdered scent compound and related methods of application for adhering the powdered scent compound to a desired application area. The powdered scent compound can comprise a porous carrier powder, an adhesive compound and a synthetic scent compound. The powdered scent compound is shelf-stable and convenient to apply, carry and store. Furthermore, the powdered scent compound can adhere to applied surfaces, thereby ensuring that powdered scent compound remains where it is applied, even in locations where the potential exists for the compound to drip or be blown from.

DATE PALME POLLINATOR AND POWDER DISPERSER FOR HIGHT TREES
A plant duster, especially for data palm pollination, has a small tube for dispersing dust (1) and a container for the dust to be dispensed (7). A rubber stopper (3) in one end of the container and about one end of the small tube flexibly mounts the small tube on the container for communication with the container for receiving the dust. A truncated, hollow cone (4) has one end on the other end of the cylinder part of the caver of the container for communicating with container of the dust therein and a threaded tube on the other end. The container of the pollen Flour mixture (7) threaded to tubular (14), battery-operable air pump (15) has threads on one end for connection to Inverted truncated, and hollow cone (24) this hollow cone connected to 5 cm diameter cylinder (53) contains the batteries and the upper control system. This tub threaded to the carrying tub. A first carrying tube section (26) is threaded on to the threaded tube at one end and has an enlargement about the other end. There are also further carrying tube sections in graduated diameters, each further carrying tube section having an enlargement about one end corresponding to that about the other end of the first carrying tube. A last carrying tube section has threads on the other end to plastic tub contains the remote control system of the pollinator, whereby operating the pump to entrain the dust therein and dispense the entrained dust through the small tube. Timer and speed control give constant dose of the pollen that can be adjusted automatically and manually.
A collection system to collect pollen from the male cluster. It consists of a bag of sieve cloth at the end of which is a steel ball attached to a flexible metal wire to move the ball. The flexible metal wire passes through the tube (39) to facilitate movement. This bag surrounded by another bag of non-permeable cloth (37) that collects pollen. Special grinding machine with a battery that grinds the flowers into the bag, to get the highest amount of pollen and best Specification. A bag inclosing all these with solar batters charger and other accessories.
