  • Variable product agrochemicals application management
    Patent number: 9898016
    Abstract: Methods and products are provided for facilitating application of variable-product agrochemicals, such as fertilizer, to an application area, such as a field. The fertilizer or agrochemical may include a single fertilizer or agrochemical type or a mixture. In one embodiment, a fertilizer-application area is divided into application cells, and a fertilizer product is determined for each cell, based on zones of the application area with a similar characteristic, such as topographic wetness index levels. Based on a determined product for each cell, instructions for controlling an agrochemical applicator are automatically generated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 2013
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2018
    Assignee: The Curators of the University of Missouri
