  • Publication number: 20260137021
    Abstract: An application device on an agricultural machine includes a plurality of actuators that are controlled by a control system. Each actuator actuates a valve. When a furrow is opened, the control system controls the plurality of actuators, independently, to apply a plurality of different liquid material in the furrow.

  • Publication number: 20260083048
    Abstract: An application device on an agricultural machine includes a valve and an actuator that is controlled to apply liquid material, through a spray tip, to a field. Pressure is sensed between the valve and the spray tip. A machine learning-based detector detects a state of the applicator, such as whether the spray tip is partially or fully blocked or is missing. A control signal is generated based on the detected state of the applicator.
