A method for operating a fluid additive control system to inject a fluid additive into a fluid dispensation system is provided. The method includes receiving a first control signal indicating that a fluid dispensation device within the fluid dispensation system is active, and determining a fluid additive quantity based upon the identity of the fluid dispensation device. The method also includes activating a fluid additive injection system, where the fluid additive dispensation system injects the fluid additive into the fluid dispensation system in response to the activation. The method further includes receiving a second control signal from the fluid additive injection system when the fluid additive quantity for the zone has been injected into the fluid dispensation system, and deactivating the fluid additive dispensation system in response to the second control signal.

A computing device for determining a nozzle for pesticide and/or biostimulant application is provided. The computing device is configured to receive an input on windspeed and/or relative humidity of an area where a pesticide and/or biostimulant is to be applied, determine a nozzle for applying a pesticide and/or biostimulant for improving plant health based on said input, and send information on the nozzle to a user device.

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.

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.

By injecting a chemical fluid and a carrier fluid directly at each nozzle, and by then mixing the fluids at each nozzle to produce a mixed fluid, an improved spray system may be provided which does not contaminate the tank or distribution system with chemical fluid and which allows improved spraying with minimal delay. Accordingly, a system is provided on a field sprayer for independently controlling the flow rate of concentrated chemical fluid to individual spray nozzles using a high pressure chemical distribution rail or loop routed to each nozzle and solenoid injection valves to control the flow of chemical fluid to each nozzle independently.

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.

An automated system for loading agricultural chemical application equipment that includes actuated valves and pumps to meter appropriate quantities of chemical. The system includes either a pump or venturi to transfer chemical. The system includes sensors to provide measurements of chemical parameters. A touchscreen user interface allows the user to input chemical selections and quantities. The processing method directs the valves and pumps according to the user inputs and feedback from the sensors.

A system having a boom; a plurality of cameras attached to the boom; and a plurality of lenses on each camera; wherein not all lenses have a same field of view.

A method performed by an as-applied data storage device while dispensing crop input products from RFID-tagged crop input containers by georeferenced locations. The method includes: a) reading product information from at least one RFID-tagged crop input container when an RFID tag reading device is operably connected to an RFID-tagged crop input container, where the RFID tag is factory installed by the manufacturer/formulator of the crop input product; b) calculating and recording as-applied information when the product is dispensed; c) transmitting the as-applied information to a data aggregator; and, d) utilizing said data aggregator for aggregating the as-applied information by georeferenced locations, where the aggregation ensures the as-applied information for that crop input is recorded in a consistent manner across the field or fields so-treated.

A method for operating an agricultural spraying device having a direct infeed system, comprising the following steps: feeding an active substance into a line system of the agricultural spraying device, said line system being connected to application elements and conducting a carrier fluid, by means of the direct infeed system in order to generate a spray fluid containing the active substance and the carrier fluid, wherein the feeding in of the active substance takes place at an infeed point of the line system; and changing the active substance concentration of the spray fluid by adjusting the active substance infeed and/or by adjusting the volume flow of the carrier fluid at the infeed point.
