The invention relates to a device for preparing aqueous solutions intended to be sprayed via a manifold including two or more nozzle sections, on a surface from a mixture of water and two or more additives. Said device includes: a water vessel (2); a pump (6) connected to each section (4, 5); a first pipe (8) connecting the water vessel (2) to the pump (6); a second pipe (9) with as many parallel arms between the pump (6) and each section (4, 5); at least two additive vessels (10, 11); anda means (12) for metering the amount of each additive that is to be injected into the second pipe (9) and mixed with the water.

An agricultural implement for applying an active ingredient to a geographic area includes a chassis, and at least one active ingredient tank. Each active ingredient tank is removably positioned on and carried by the chassis. Each active ingredient tank contains an active ingredient therein which is to be applied to the geographic area. Each active ingredient tank has an identification (ID) tag representing data associated with the active ingredient. An electrical reader carried by the chassis is configured for reading the ID tag and providing an output signal. An electrical processing circuit is coupled with the reader and receives the output signal.

The present disclosure concerns a discharge device for a product dispersion assembly, for example intended to be attached on an agricultural machine, comprising a receiving element, such as a hopper, intended to receive the product, wherein the discharge device includes a mass measurement system configured to measure the mass of the receiving element.

A system for a boom assembly can include a cylinder including a piston rod and a housing. The cylinder can be operably coupled between a first boom section and a second boom section of the boom assembly. A control circuit can be fluidly coupled with the cylinder. The control circuit includes a first pressure relief assembly including a first pressure relief valve and a first flow control device. The first flow control device can be positioned between the cylinder and the first pressure relief valve in the control circuit.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure include the use of a tracer in agricultural spray solutions, and preferably a metal tracer, to determine if off-target drift of an active ingredient (AI) is based on drift caused during application or volatility of Al after application.

On a user interface presented on a display screen, an alteration point marker is rendered on a circular shape representing a center pivot irrigation system. A fine position control may also be rendered on the display screen. The fine position control may comprise a first icon and a second icon, wherein the first icon is for repositioning the alteration point marker in a first circular direction, and wherein the second icon is for rotating the alteration point marker in the second circular direction.

A system for dispensing crop input products from multiple meters per crop row, including: a) a georeferencing module configured to receive and process georeferenced location information; b) a prescriptive control module configured to receive the processed georeferenced location information from the georeferencing module and utilize the georeferenced location information to generate specific prescriptive rate information for individual meters in the field; and, c) a meter controller module operatively connected to the prescriptive control module. The meter controller module is configured to utilize the specific prescriptive rate information to individually control multiple meters per crop row, to simultaneously dispense crop input products at specific prescriptive rates at georeferenced locations throughout the field.

A spraying nozzle for an agricultural device, a spraying system and agricultural machine provided therewith and method therefor. The spraying nozzle includes a body and a nozzle head, the body comprising a first inlet chamber, a second inlet chamber, and a mixing chamber. The first inlet chamber includes a first inlet configured to receive a first fluid under a first pressure and a first outlet that is fluidly connected to the mixing chamber, and the second inlet chamber comprises a second inlet configured to accept a second fluid under a second pressure and a second outlet that is fluidly connected with the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is fluidly connected to the nozzle head.

A mobile crop monitoring and treatment system includes a vehicle with a propulsion system and multiple sensors mounted on the vehicle. Each sensor is configured to capture data pertaining to at least one plant-related parameter when the sensor is positioned proximate to a plant in a crop. The system also includes a storage system configured to house multiple treatment agents, including at least one chemical pesticide and at least one biological control agent, on-board the vehicle. The system further includes an application system configured to apply one or more of the treatment agents to the plant. In addition, the system includes a controller configured to control movement of the vehicle and operation of the sensors and application system. The controller is configured to cause the application system to apply one or more treatment agents to the plant in response to one or more signals from one or more sensors.

A method for treating a pathogen, comprising the steps of: removing, with an acid, less than 99% of COR.sub.1 acyl groups from nitrogen sites of a poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline) in a solution to form a partially protonated and partially acylated poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline), where R.sub.1 comprises an alkyl group; adjusting a pH of the solution to greater than 2.5; forming a film from the solution, the film comprising a total cationic charge in a range of 0.001 to 10.0 coulombs per square inch, the total cationic charge countered with counteranions; and reducing activity of the pathogen contacting the film by: greater than 9% and less than 99.99995% in less than one minute, greater than 99.999% in less than four days, and greater than 99.99995% in less than seven days.
