SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR METERING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

摘要

A metering system for an air cart includes a metering subassembly having a first meter module configured to meter particulate material from a storage tank of the air cart to a first section of an agricultural implement and a second meter module configured to meter the particulate material from the storage tank of the air cart to a second section of the agricultural implement. The metering system includes a controller having a processor configured to receive a prescription rate map indicative of prescribed product application rates for respective geographic regions of a field, to receive a speed of the agricultural implement, and to independently adjust the first meter module and the second meter module based at least in part on the prescription rate map and the speed to facilitate application of the particulate material at the prescribed product application rates in the respective geographic regions.

1. A metering system for an air cart, comprising:
a first metering subassembly, comprising:
a first meter module configured to meter particulate material from a storage tank of the air cart to a first section of an agricultural implement;a second meter module configured to meter the particulate material from the storage tank of the air cart to a second section of the agricultural implement; a controller having a processor configured to:
receive a prescription rate map indicative of prescribed product application rates for respective geographic regions of a field;receive a speed of the agricultural implement; andindependently adjust the first meter module and the second meter module based at least in part on the prescription rate map and the speed as the agricultural implement travels through the field to facilitate application of the particulate material at the prescribed product application rates in the respective geographic regions of the field.
