In certain examples, each section can include a metering device configured to receive a flow command and to provide a flow of the substance to a manifold using the flow command. In certain examples, the applicator controller can be configured to receive speed information and position information of the apparatus, to receive the flow rate information, to determine application rate information of the substance for each section using the speed and position information, and the coverage map, and to provide the flow command to each metering device using the application rate and flow rate information.
