A dual-placement fertilizer system for applying fertilizer at the base of crops and attached to a single coulter fertilizer system is provided. The system includes mounting means for attaching to the single coulter fertilizer system. A pivot plate is pivotally connected to the mounting means. The pivotal connection may be accomplished through a cylindrical sleeve affixed to a trailing edge of the second section of the mounting bracket, and a pivot pin extending through the cylindrical sleeve and having a first end affixed to the pivot plate for permitting the pivot plate to oscillate relative to the mounting bracket. First and second fertilizer supply lines, each having a first end affixed to the pivot plate, extend outwardly from the pivot plate in substantially opposing direction relative to one another to a second open end for dispersing liquid fertilizer at the base of crops. Means for supplying liquid fertilizer from a fertilizer tank through the first and second fertilizer supply lines to the base of crops is also provided.

The present invention is a resonant vibratory agitation mechanism for installing inside bioreactor containers for agitating and degrading biodegradable waste. It either comprises of a sole layer of horizontally arranged springs with at least one vibration motor installed inside each of the springs, or comprises of a central frame, a plurality of vibration motors fixed on the central frame and a plurality of layers of horizontally or diagonally arranged extension springs. It provides sound waves, vibrations, resonant vibratory frequencies and heat for agitating and degrading biodegradable waste inside a bioreactor container. It saves costs to fabricate a bioreactor container by assembling a plurality of cylindrical drum barrels on top of a receiving tank. A closed-loop recirculation of water, heat, nutrients, O.sub.2 and CO.sub.2 may be established by integrating the present bioreactor system with wicking beds, hydroponics/aeroponics growing beds, a stove unit and a greenhouse.

A system for dispensing multiple low rate agricultural products, includes a syringe-based agricultural product metering system, a number of agricultural product tubes, and an agricultural product metering system. The agricultural product metering system is operably connected to sources of low rate agricultural products. The agricultural product tubes are operatively connected to the agricultural product metering system. The agricultural product metering system is configured to dispense liquid low rate agricultural products at a low rate defined as below 3.7 fluid ounces per 1000 row feet.

A farming machine includes one or more image sensors for capturing an image as the farming machine moves through the field. A control system accesses an image captured by the one or more sensors and identifies a distance value associated with each pixel of the image. The distance value corresponds to a distance between a point and an object that the pixel represents. The control system classifies pixels in the image as crop, plant, ground, etc. based on depth information in in the pixels. The control system generates a labelled point cloud using the labels and depth information, and identifies features about the crops, plants, ground, etc. in the point cloud. The control system generates treatment actions based on any of the depth information, visual information, point cloud, and feature values. The control system actuates a treatment mechanism based on the classified pixels.

An autonomous vehicle platform and system for selectively performing an in-season management task in an agricultural field while self-navigating between rows of planted crops, the autonomous vehicle platform having a vehicle base with a width so dimensioned as to be insertable through the space between two rows of planted crops, the vehicle base having an in-season task management structure configured to perform various tasks, including selectively applying fertilizer, mapping growth zones and seeding cover crop within an agricultural field.

A variable width agricultural applicator is provided. The variable width agricultural applicator is attachable to a boom to apply a liquid to a crop in rows. The variable width agricultural sprayer includes a drop tube and a splitter downstream of the drop tube. The splitter is fluidly connected to the drop tube. A pair of flexible delivery tubes is fluidly connected to the splitter. Each one of the pair of flexible delivery tubes has a predetermined bend.
