| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the usefulness of various current sprayer control technologies in controlling spray application accuracy. Overviews the key points of several different methods of sprayer control, including ground-sensing radar, speed sensors, ground-speed governors, pressure-compensating valve banks, pressure sensors, and valve types. Profiles potential future technologies, including direct injection and geographic positioning systems. Suggests that "turf managers looking for the newest, most automated technology to put to work on their turf won't be disappointed, now or in the future." |
