A windrower implement includes a merger attachment having a conveyor positioned relative to an implement head to receive discharged crop material from the implement head and convey the crop material to a laterally offset location on a discharge side of the merger attachment. An image sensor is positioned to capture an image of a windrow laterally offset from the central longitudinal axis on the discharge side of the frame. A merger controller is disposed in communication with the image sensor and is operable to capture an image of the windrow with the image sensor, identify and locate an edge of the windrow in the captured image relative to the conveyor. The merger controller may then control a current speed of the conveyor based on the location of the edge of the windrow so that crop material is discharged onto the existing windrow.

The controller for the work machine may cause the work machine to steer away from a windrow based on detecting that the work machine has traveled the particular distance.

This invention provides a method for preparing an iron-silicon composite organic fertilizer using acid-activated iron tailings. The method involves crushing high-silicon iron tailings through a 200-mesh sieve, mixing it with an acid activator composed of citric acid and oxalic acid in a specific ratio, aging it in water for 25-30 days, and then drying it to obtain acid-activated iron tailings. This is then mixed with livestock manure (20-45 parts), crop residues (15-40 parts), microbial agents (1-2 parts), and water (10-30 parts), and composted in windrows for 40-50 days before drying to obtain the finished organic fertilizer. This process is simple, low-cost, and energy-efficient, realizing the resource utilization of iron tailings solid waste. The resulting fertilizer is rich in soluble silicon and iron, can complex with humic acid, and is suitable for silicon-loving, acid-loving, and iron-loving crops. It promotes growth, increases yield, and improves quality, and can be used as a base fertilizer or top dressing.

This invention relates to the field of organic waste treatment technology and discloses a method for intelligent optimization and control of parameters in a two-stage aerobic composting process. When the compost pile is in the membrane-covered stage, the method determines a carbon-nitrogen ratio correction coefficient for the membrane-covered section based on the carbon-nitrogen ratio classification results; multiplies the basic aeration rate by the membrane-covered section carbon-nitrogen ratio correction coefficient to determine optimized aeration control parameters, and controls the composting equipment to perform aeration operations based on these parameters. When the compost pile is in the windrow stage, the windrow stage parameters are acquired, and a windrow stage carbon-nitrogen ratio correction coefficient is determined based on the carbon-nitrogen ratio classification results; optimized turning control parameters are determined based on the windrow stage parameters and the windrow stage carbon-nitrogen ratio correction coefficient, and controls the composting equipment to perform turning and / or water replenishment operations based on these parameters. Thus, by introducing the membrane-covered section carbon-nitrogen ratio correction coefficient and the windrow stage carbon-nitrogen ratio correction coefficient, insufficient high-temperature periods can be avoided and nitrogen loss reduced, thereby improving the quality of the compost products.
