Automatic Section Control

Description

Overview

Automatic Section Control is a precision agriculture technology designed to optimize input application by automatically managing implement sections. By preventing double coverage and minimizing overlap, it ensures efficient use of seeds, fertilizers, and chemicals, leading to increased profitability and improved crop yields. 

Key Features

• Individual Row Control: Manage up to 48 rows individually, allowing for precise input application tailored to specific field conditions. 
• Overlap Detection: Real-time monitoring displays areas already covered, preventing over-application and ensuring uniform treatment. 
• Integration with Tru Count Systems: Utilize Tru Count Air Clutches® and Tru Count LiquiBlock™ Valves to start and stop seed and fertilizer flow instantly, eliminating lag time and reducing waste. 

Benefits

• Cost Savings: By avoiding double coverage, farmers can significantly reduce expenditures on seeds, fertilizers, and chemicals. 
• Increased Yields: Precise application ensures optimal plant spacing and nutrient distribution, promoting healthier crop growth and higher yields. 
• Environmental Stewardship: Minimizing overlap reduces the risk of over-application, thereby decreasing potential environmental impact. 

Compatibility

Automatic Section Control is compatible with Trimble’s Field-IQ™ crop input control system and integrates seamlessly with displays such as the TMX-2050™ and CFX-750™. This compatibility ensures easy adoption into existing equipment setups.
