Abstract
A system for dispensing low rate agricultural products, includes a syringe-based agricultural product metering system, at least one agricultural product tube, and an agricultural product metering system. The agricultural product metering system is operably connected to a source of low rate agricultural products. The agricultural product tube is operatively connected to the agricultural product metering system. The agricultural product metering system is configured to dispense liquid low rate agricultural products at a low rate defined as below 3.7 fluid ounces per 1000 row feet.
Claims25
A system for dispensing low rate crop enhancement agricultural products, comprising:
- an agricultural product metering system operably connected to a source of low rate crop enhancement agricultural products;
- and,
- at least one agricultural product tube operatively connected to said agricultural product metering system,
- wherein said agricultural product metering system is configured to dispense liquid low rate crop enhancement agricultural products at a low rate defined as below 3.7 fluid ounces per 1000 row feet.
A system for dispensing low rate crop enhancement agricultural products with seed, comprising:
- a seed sensing device configured to sense placement of seed from a planter;
- an agricultural product metering system operably connected to a source of of low rate crop enhancement agricultural products;
- at least one agricultural product tube operatively connected to said agricultural product metering system;
- and,
