Abstract
An improved mobile agricultural products crop input application control system is associated with a plurality of operably coupled application machines including a delay coordinating system particularly adaptable for use in site-specific (precision) farming, wherein selected discrete delay information unique to each on-board crop input storage release point, crop input transport system, and/or crop input dispensing point is combined with anticipated field reference point data obtained with a machine positioning system, e.g. 'Dead Reckoning', GPS, and/or radar, and a computer, to direct independent functioning of selected on-board storage devices, material transport systems, crop input release point mechanisms and/or dispensing point mechanisms to ensure stored products are released for a timely combination to achieve a predetermined quantity and prescription of products delivered to the anticipated field reference points as the plurality of operatively coupled crop input applicator machines travel over a predetermined geographic land area. The delay coordinating system provides environmental advantages to all through enhanced resource management by more accurately and precisely placing agricultural products resulting in a significant improvement in the use of crop input/planting resources.
