ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for precise water and liquid chemical application to agricultural fields is provided comprising a control platform with two motors, each motor driving a separate set of drive wheels. The speed of the first platform motor being selectable, the speed of the second motor being controlled by a variable frequency AC motor controller which receives a signal from a linear position transducer which senses the positional relationship of the control platform to a pre-determined path so as to maintain the platform on a pre-determined path. A second variable frequency AC motor controller receives a signal from a second linear position transducer between the control platform and a plurality of span sections supported by a plurality of motorized, wheeled towers which is operable to maintain alignment between the towers and the control platform, and the span sections are provided with switches operable to switch the motors of the towers on and off momentarily as required to keep them in alignment with each other. Water and chemicals are transported independently along the span sections and into separate nozzle systems at appropriate pressures for dispensing, each span being provided with at least one chemical and one water nozzle system. The nozzles of each nozzle system may be oscillated vertically under direction of a programmable controller, and each nozzle system may be positioned horizontally along the span section. The chemical nozzle systems may be further directed by the programmable controller to dispense chemicals only from certain nozzle systems at any given time. The apparatus may be used for low energy precision application agricultural methods.
