The present invention belongs to the autonomous and precision agriculture sector, and refers, more specifically, to a system for seedling planting machines with a focus on reforestation and forestry (silviculture) for mechanized planting, in areas of installation, renovation and/or recovery of degraded areas with minimal impact on the environment, self-propelled, which plants from 1,800 to 3,600 seedlings per hour, in a sliding and continuous system, with water or gel irrigation, guaranteeing the quality of planting with an intelligent system, which checks each seedling, evaluating whether there has been drowning of the collection, exposure of the substrate, if the seedling is inclined, indicating even if the seedling was not planted and where it happened, generating a planting map (KML) with the GPS position of each seedling.

The present invention generally relates to methods of cleaning residual pesticide from an agricultural vessel, and to kits and compositions useful for the practice of such methods.

A sprayer including a chassis supporting a main container, a spray boom, and an incorporation device, the incorporation device having an active state and an inactive state. A volume occupied by the incorporation device can be varied between its active state and its inactive state. The incorporation device has a larger capacity in its active state and is smaller in size in its inactive state.

A computer-implemented method and a control system are described for controlling one or more operations of a sprayer vehicle with a tilt-detection mechanism, a tank, and a tank fill-volume sensor. The tilt-detection mechanism is utilized to determine a tilt indicator. A tilt value is determined based upon the tilt indicator. A tank fill-volume indicator is determined based upon information from the tank fill-volume sensor. A tilt-corrected fill-volume of the tank is determined based upon the tilt value and the tank fill-volume indicator.

A closure arrangement for a tank includes a tank lid and an opening flange. The opening flange has first and second tank flange lips spaced by an offset distance. The tank flange lips extend toward one side of the tank. The tank has a lid flange with first and second lid lips spaced by an offset distance corresponding to the offset distance. The lid lips extend, at least in part, toward a second side of the tank. The lid lips include first and second walls arranged at a tank interior side of the respective first and second tank flange lips in an offset direction. When the tank lid is closed over the tank opening, one or more seals engage the tank flange lips from the tank interior side and engage the lid lip walls of the lid flange from an exterior side of the tank in the offset direction.

A probe assembly for a closed transfer system is provided. The probe assembly includes a base having a base air inlet, a probe having a base end and a probe end, at least one primary valve positioned at the probe tip, and at least one secondary valve. The probe defines a hollow air channel extending from the base end to the probe end including a probe tip, the base end being coupled to the base such that the hollow air channel is in fluid communication with the base air inlet and the probe tip. The at least one secondary valve is positioned at the base air inlet and configured to selectively allow air into the hollow air channel.

Systems, kits, and methods for contactless application of mixed concentrates and diluents are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system comprising a mix and storage container defining an interior and a first opening and a second opening. The first opening, the second opening and the interior are fluidly connected. Further, the system includes a connector that defines a first end, a second end, and a passageway that extends between the first end and the second end. The first end of the connector is attached to the first opening of the mix and storage container. The connector further defines an opener configured to engage and open a sealed portion of the concentrate container for release of a concentrate from within the concentrate container through the passageway and into the interior of the mix and storage container for mixing with a diluent. The system also includes an application tool.

A liquid distribution system for a crop sprayer having a laterally extendable boom includes a first product tank configured to contain a first liquid, one or more auxiliary product tank(s) configured to contain an additional liquid(s), a first fluid power source in fluid communication with the first product tank, a pressurized air source in fluid communication with the auxiliary product tank, at least one mixing valve carried by the boom, and at least one nozzle carried by the boom and configured to receive mixed liquid from the at least one mixing valve. The mixing valve(s) are configured to receive the first liquid and the additional liquid(s), and form the mixed liquid. Crop sprayers and related methods are also disclosed.

The present invention provides an improved magnetically attachable spray apparatus with a spray body extending between an angled mounting surface and a spray means, the angled mounting surface being generally secured to and supported by a magnetically attachable base which is moveable between a horizontal and a vertical configuration.

A turf applicator including a main body, a primary spray tank, an auxiliary spray tank, and a removable fertilizer hopper, where only one of the auxiliary spray tank or the removable fertilizer hopper is used at a time, a controller; and a removable frame. The removeable frame includes: a plurality of connection points to secure the removable fertilizer hopper or the auxiliary spray tank to the main body, a plurality of mounting flanges to support the removable fertilizer hopper or the auxiliary spray tank, and at least one vertical slot where at least one wing nut and at least one carriage bolt secure the removable frame with the removable fertilizer hopper or the auxiliary spray tank to the main frame. When the auxiliary spray tank is used the controller enables fluid transfer from the auxiliary spray tank to the primary spray tank to balance weight distribution.
