Claims40
An agricultural additive dispenser system for delivering an agricultural additive to a stream of air flowing through an air seeder cart toward one or more soil furrows, the system comprising:
- a housing for housing the agricultural additive;
- a rotational meter connected to the base of the housing to control a delivery rate of the agricultural additive exiting the housing;
- and
- a motor connected to the meter for rotating the meter, wherein the motor can be controlled in correspondence with a movement speed of the air seeder cart such that a delivery rate of the additive into the one or more soil furrows is 5 kilograms or less of agricultural additive per hectare of land.
