ABSTRACT:
A device which controls the discharge of liquid from an elevated spray head according to the wind conditions. A wind sensor is mounted near the end of an irrigation boom or other elevated pipe. An end spray head for the boom is controlled by a motor driven valve. When the sensor detects wind along the boom above a selected velocity, a circuit is activated to operate the valve motor in a manner to turn the spray head off or on, depending on the wind direction. The circuit includes time delay relays which disregard sudden gusts of wind.
