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
Additional Equipment
Additional Pumps Stacker Openers Section Control Spiker Additional tanks
Disadvantages
High set-up cost System plus multiple attachments,
equipment, soil test Have to change application timing
Summary
Effective and efficient system Has made producers more profitable Step toward the future
