System for providing prescriptive application of multiple products

A method for dispensing crop input products from multiple meters per crop row, comprising:

• a) receiving and processing georeferenced location information utilizing a georeferencing module;
• b) receiving the processed georeferenced location information from the georeferencing module and utilizing the georeferenced location information to generate specific prescriptive rate information for individual meters in the field utilizing a prescriptive control module;
• and,
• c) using a meter controller module operatively connected to the prescriptive control module to utilize said specific prescriptive rate information to individually control multiple meters per crop row, to simultaneously dispense crop input products comprising low usage rate crop enhancement products at specific prescriptive rates at georeferenced locations throughout the field.

A system for dispensing crop input products from multiple meters per crop row, comprising:

• 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;
• c) a meter controller module operatively connected to the prescriptive control module, configured to utilize said 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;
• and,
• d) an RFID tag reading device operably connected to the meter controller module, said RFID tag reading device being operatively connectable to an RFID-tagged crop input product container, wherein
• said RFID tag reading device is configured to read RFID information retrieved from the RFID-tagged crop input product container to ensure that the crop input product installed at a specific row location conforms to a crop input product description associated with that specific row location during a meter control module set-up;
• wherein when crop input product is put into the product container the contents are written to an RFID tag positioned on the RFID-tagged crop input product container, and when the crop input product is dispensed, as-applied information being recorded, and transmitted to a data aggregator providing data aggregation, wherein the data aggregation ensures that when multiple fields are treated by multiple operators with the same crop input product, the as-applied information for that crop input product is recorded in a consistent manner across all the fields so-treated.

• wherein a planter contains a master row and a plurality of slave rows, the master row having a plurality of master receptacles and the plurality of slave rows having a plurality of slave receptacles, each of said plurality of master receptacles and plurality of slave receptacles having an RFID tag reading device connected thereto, wherein each RFID tag reading device is operably connected to the meter controller module, and each RFID tag reading device is operatively connectable to an RFID-tagged crop input product container,
• wherein in the event a crop input product container is inserted into a slave receptacle, and the RFID tag information of that inserted crop input product container does not conform to the RFID tag information associated with a corresponding master receptacle to that slave receptacle, then the meter control module will disallow application of the crop input product and will notify the human operator via an error message on a graphical user interface of the meter control module, that the inserted product container has been disallowed.
