Abstract

The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for providing variable rate application of applicants to discrete field locations. According to a first preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a control device having software modules to allow for the execution of irrigation and chemical spray patterns according to specific prescriptions for each crop being sprayed. According to further preferred embodiments, the control device may use data from a variety of image sensors to create a selective, variable rate application of applicants. Using the imaging data, the system of the present invention may use a primary applicant system to broadly deliver a first selected application (e.g. water or the like) and use a separate system to deliver targeted applicants for specific plants or areas of a given field.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 867,338, filed June 27, 2019. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to irrigation machines, and more particularly to systems, methods, and devices for collecting accurate, near real-time data, creating recommendations, and applying targeted applications to selected field locations. Background technique [0004] Modern field irrigation machines are a combination drive system and sprinkler system. Generally, these systems fall into two types, depending on the type of travel that the system is designed to perform: center-pivot and / or linear. [0005] Whether center-pivot or linear, common irrigation machines typically include overhead sprinkler irrigation systems consisting of several sections of pipe (usually galvanized steel or aluminum) joined together and supported by trusses, The trusses are mounted on wheeled towers with sprinklers posit...
