ABSTRACT:
A multi-product applicating system, seed planting system and control are provided for the dispensing of liquid or granular products in pre-selected amounts and planting seeds at pre-selected depths and frequencies. Three or more separate products can be dispensed simultaneously and constant control and monitoring of all products is provided for at the control console. Seed planting depth can also be continuously monitored. The present invention further provides a grid recipe system for creating a recipe which defines the amounts of each type of product to be applied to specific areas of the field and/or which defines a seed planting depths and frequencies for specific areas of the field. The grid recipe system utilizes the GPS and a data card having the recipe and/or seed depth/frequency stored thereon for controlling a computer which communicates with the control console of the present invention. The recipe and/or depth/frequency grid is created by the farmer based on personal knowledge and experience.
