ABSTRACT:
A control system for providing uniform spraying of plants and for spraying only areas containing plants. A plurality of plant sensors each detect the presence or absence of plants in a narrow field of view and cause spray nozzles to provide a spray solution to only areas containing plants. A ground speed sensor causes the volume of spray solution to be adjusted to provide a predetermined density of coverage of plants irrespective of the ground speed of a sprayer.
