Description
Field Grid Sense is a system designed to control and record crop chemical inputs via laptop computer interfaced with a direct injection module mounted on a field sprayer. Using the system one can apply a specific chemical rate to a specific location based on predetermined rates entered by the operator. The FGS system will monitor, control and record rates applied in a field. Data can be used to fine tune future inputs, develop a management history and provide evidence of chemical application. Other adaptations of the system may include liquid fertilizer applicators, seed planters, crop yield maps and/or any field inputs in which site specific application is desired.
