The present invention is directed to an applicator having an agricultural product pneumatic conveying system which meters particulate material from one or more source containers at the application equipment and transports the particulate material to evenly distribute the particulate material from the applicator. The pneumatic conveying system employs large diameter supply lines connected between the metering devices at the source containers and delivery nozzles, where the supply lines operate to move and mix the particulate material from the source containers to the nozzles. The particulate material is metered from the source containers into the supply lines via a number of airlocks that can be operated without allowing airflow from the large diameter supply lines to enter the source containers through the airlocks. In addition, the metering devices can b e operated in collective or independent variable manners to allow for sectional control and turning compensation.

The present invention is directed to an applicator having an agricultural product mechanical conveying system which transfers particulate material metered into the mechanical conveying system from one or more source containers to the application equipment on demand, and meters the material at the application equipment. The mechanical conveying system employs longitudinal mechanical distributors that operate to move and mix the particulate material from one of the source containers or tanks along the mechanical distributor to a plenum. At the plenum the different types of particulate materials are further blended, such as within a particle injector, and delivered to the distribution nozzles for discharge from the applicator.

An agricultural implement includes a first storage container mounted on a frame of the agricultural implement and configured to store a solid particulate agricultural product and a second storage container mounted on the frame and configured to store a liquid. The agricultural implement also includes at least one arm configured to extend laterally outward from the frame, and each of the at least one arms has at least one first nozzle for distributing the solid particulate agricultural product and at least one second nozzle for distributing the liquid. An air metering system includes an auger assembly configured to meter the solid particulate agricultural product from the first storage container into a pneumatic distribution hose, and an air flow in the pneumatic distribution hose is configured to transfer the solid particulate agricultural product toward the at least one first nozzle as the agricultural implement travels across a field.
