Overview

Current fertilizer flow meters tell you if fertilizer is flowing, not the rate that is being applied on each row. FlowSense allows you to measure the rate of fertilizer you are applying on each row of your planter, to make you aware of any row-to-row variability that is occurring so that you can be confident in your application rate.

See What is Really Happening FlowSense Nitrogen 1050x600

We all want to know the truth of equipment performance.  Whether it be running well, or an issue that is occurring that is currently not known about, it is important to either be confident in equipment or make an adjustment.  When it comes to liquid, rates, plumbing, pumps, and pulsation can all affect application and most times a problem is unknown.

FlowSense Let's You Know FlowSense Hero 1050x600

FlowSense tells you liquid application rate on each row.  Displayed on the 20|20 in the cab, you will know what rate each row is receiving, and be able to fix issues if they are occurring. 

Option for Using Different Grades EM FlowSense 1050x600 04

EM FlowSense is designed with no physical components in the liquid stream, so it works well with any grade of fertilizer–even thick products and products in suspension. The traditional turbine is replaced with an electromagnet.    Adequate moisture is needed in the soil for a seed to germinate.  If the soil does not have enough moisture for a seed to germinate, it will take a rain shower to get enough moisture for that seed to germinate.  SmartFirmer measures and displays soil moisture in the cab so you can make adjustments to get seeds into adequate moisture. 

Moving to Control

FlowSense measures what rate each row is applying.  Sometimes, an issue is illuminated which needs a change in control systems to correct.   That is where vApplyHD comes in.  vApplyHD is a control system that incorporates flow measurement, rate control, and swath control into one module that can be configured for section or row-by-row control.  See how it solves common issues in fertilizer delivery systems.

Beansprecision planting FlowSense

Beans have sometimes been treated like a weed, but research is showing that managing consistent emergence and spacing of beans can lead to improved yields and reduced seeding rates. Precision Planting provides a complete suite of tools to plant your beans earlier and more accurately than in the past.

Canola Canola2

Most canola seeds can’t emerge if planted too deep, but adequate moisture is important for canola to germinate. Precision Planting offers a system to control a row crop planter in canola so that you can reduce seed costs while getting a great stand. And if using an air seeder, automated downforce control helps ensure your emergence is consistent as well.

Corn 20150928 PrecisionHarvest MG 4489

You face multiple decisions throughout the corn growing season. Precision Planting technology helps make those decisions easier with in-cab data to allow you to make better decisions in the moment. This technology powers systems that control population, downforce, liquid application, multi-hybrid planting, and high-speed planting, all while sensing the furrow.

Cotton Cotton

Getting a well-emerged stand of cotton is imperative to getting both yield and quality at harvest, but current planting equipment limits a cotton seed’s ability to emerge well. Precision Planting products ensure that your seed population, depth, and environment is perfect, giving each seed the opportunity to emerge, grow, and thrive.

Peanuts Peanuts GA

Row overlap during planting makes it troublesome for diggers at harvest time. You can easily manage row-by-row shut off when you use Precision Planting technology and you’ll reduce your spend on extra seed. You can even eliminate a sprayer pass when you apply insecticides/nematicides while planting with the same technology.

Sugarbeets Sugarbeets

It’s no secret that sugarbeets do not endure stress well. Precision Planting technology takes away some of the burdens by providing consistent spacing, depth, and seed-to-soil contact. A more uniform stand at harvest means more sugar with less waste during topping and lifting.

Sunflowers Sunflowers2

Meters are not one size fits all for sunflowers, but performance of singulation and spacing is key for consistent head size. That’s why we’ve designed and offer multiple seed disks to plant your sunflowers consistently and offer technology to avoid delays in emergence for your sunflowers.
