An agricultural product delivery applicator for delivering agricultural product to a field, the applicator comprising:

• a primary boom arm having a first application section;
• a secondary boom arm having a second application section, the secondary boom arm being offset from the primary boom arm in a front-rear direction of the applicator;
• a supply compartment to hold agricultural product;
• a pneumatic conveying system comprising:
• an airflow source to provide an airflow;
• a first delivery line operably connected to the airflow source and to the supply compartment, the first delivery line including a first plurality of outlets supported at the first application section;
• and
• a second delivery line operably connected to the airflow source and to the supply compartment, the second delivery line including a second plurality of outlets supported at the second application section;
• a metering system operably connected between the supply compartment and the pneumatic conveying system, the metering system comprising a first metering device associated with the first delivery line and a second metering device associated with the second delivery line;
• and
• a control system configured to:
• control the airflow source;
• control the first metering device at a first time to meter the agricultural product with the airflow to generate a first mixed flow of airflow and agricultural product for the first delivery line;
• and
• control the second metering device at a second time to meter the agricultural product with the airflow to generate a second mixed flow of airflow and agricultural product for the second delivery line, the control of the first metering device and the second metering device being individual, the second time being after the first time.
