Control of Herbicide Sprayers With Soil Organic Matter as an Input (Illinois)

Abstract

dc:description

A digital control system for agricultural field sprayers was designed using bypass nozzles to minimize changes in spray pattern and drop size. Sprayer travel speed and the organic matter in the soil under the sprayer were the design inputs. Step, impulse and sinusoidal demands on the system were made and the resulting flows observed. A transfer function between bypass pressure and bypass flow was sought.
