Particle delivery system of an agricultural row unit

A particle delivery system of an agricultural row unit, comprising:

• a first particle belt configured to receive a particle from a particle metering and singulation unit;
• a particle belt housing having a particle engagement aperture configured to receive the particle from the first particle belt and a particle exit aperture configured to expel the particle toward a trench in soil;
• and
• a second particle belt disposed within the particle belt housing, wherein the second particle belt has a particle engagement section configured to receive the particle from the first particle belt via the particle engagement aperture and a particle exit section configured to expel the particle to the trench in the soil via the particle exit aperture, the second particle belt extends linearly and generally parallel to the trench at the particle exit section, such that the second particle belt at the particle exit section extends at an angle between zero degrees and ten degrees relative to the trench, the particle engagement section is positioned adjacent to the particle engagement aperture, and the second particle belt at the particle engagement section extends at an additional angle between zero degrees and ninety degrees relative to the second particle belt at the particle exit section.

• and
• a controller having a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive an input signal indicative of a particle exit speed of the particle at the particle exit section of the particle belt;
• and
• output an output signal indicative of instructions to adjust a belt speed of the particle belt, such that a difference between the particle exit speed and a target particle exit speed is less than a threshold value.
