What is the Best Option for VR? Variable rate is efficient Liquid System’s goal is to be as

precise as possible More precise with liquids Liquids are the easier to control In-furrow is most efficient fertilization

system

What is it?

In-Furrow liquid injection system Fertilizer, Trace Elements, Pesticide, ect.

Pump is built to change rates quickly Computer controlled

Green Star, Ag Leader, Trimble

Set-Up

Pump and Control Module attached to air cart or Planter

Pumps liquid from tank to nozzle Computer will control rate of spray

based on GPS position
