Abstract
The present invention relates to the technical field of precision agriculture. The invention relates to a method and a system for accurate application of a liquid in a field for crop plants.
Claims15
A system for applying a liquid in a field for crop plants, comprising:
- a control unit;
- at least one storage container for holding the liquid;
- at least one nozzle;
- at least one collection container;
- means for conveying the liquid from the at least one storage container in the direction of the at least one nozzle;
- means for conveying the liquid from the at least one collection container in the direction of the at least one storage container;
- and
- at least one deflection device;
- wherein the control unit is configured to cause the at least deflection device to change between a first state of at least two states and a second state of the at least two states, wherein, in one of the at least two states, liquid emerging from the at least one nozzle is applied in the direction of a target object and, in the other state of the at least two states, the liquid emerging from the at least one nozzle is applied in the direction of the at least one collection container,
- characterized in that the deflection device comprises at least one air nozzle, wherein the at least one air nozzle is oriented such that an air flow emerging from the at least one air nozzle changes the deflection device from the first state to the second state and/or from the second state to the first state.

A method for applying a liquid in a field for crop plants, comprising the steps of:
- moving a sprayer in or over the field for crop plants;
- conveying the liquid from at least one storage container in the direction of at least one nozzle during movement;
- and
- changing a deflection device from a first state of at least two states to a second state of the at least two states, wherein, in one of the at least two states, liquid emerging from the at least one nozzle is applied in the direction of a target object and, in the other state of the at least two states, the liquid emerging from the at least one nozzle is applied in the direction of least one collection container, wherein conveying means convey the liquid from the at least one collection container into the at least one storage container;
- characterized in that the deflection device comprises at least one air nozzle, wherein the at least one air nozzle is oriented such that an air flow emerging from the at least one air nozzle changes the deflection device from the first state to the second state and/or from the second state to the first state.
