Abstract:
A system for dispensing multiple low rate agricultural products, includes an agricultural product metering system, a number of agricultural product tubes, and an agricultural product metering system. The agricultural product metering system is operably connected to sources of low rate agricultural products. The agricultural product tubes are operatively connected to the agricultural product metering system. The agricultural product metering system is configured to dispense liquid low rate agricultural products at a low rate defined as below 3.7 fluid ounces per 1000 row feet.

Claim (Index 40):
A system for dispensing multiple low rate agricultural products with seed, comprising:\n a plurality of product containers containing low application rate agricultural products, said low application rate agricultural products including low application rate dry, flowable agricultural products and low application rate liquid agricultural products; a seed sensing device configured to sense placement of seed from a planter; an agricultural product metering system operably connected to said plurality of product containers, said agricultural product metering system, comprising;\n a plurality of low application rate meter devices operatively connected to said product containers configured to dispense the agricultural products from the plurality of product containers, said meter devices being mounted on planters, said low application rate, being defined four low application rate dry, flowable agricultural products as a rate below 3 ounces per 1000 feet of row, wherein each of said planter comprises: \n a master controller; \n a power distribution box operatively connected to the master controller and a secondary power source; and, \n a plurality of secondary controllers for actuating the plurality of meter devices, each secondary controller receiving command data from the master controller, via said power distribution box, and controlling the meter devices for dispensing in response to said command data; \n precision placement equipment operatively connected to said plurality of low rate meter devices to place the low rate agricultural products in desired locations for efficient activity of the agricultural products, said precision placement equipment comprising: a plurality of agricultural product tubes operatively connected to said agricultural product metering system; and, wherein said low rate meter devices and said precision placement equipment are operated to dispense the agricultural products at an optimized efficiency, a pulsing system operatively coupled to output ends of said plurality of agricultural product tubes and to said seed sensing device and configured to synchronize the placement of low rate agricultural products relative to the placement of seed.
