RightSpot
RightSpot by Ag Leader is an advanced precision application system that enhances the efficiency and accuracy of liquid input delivery, including fertilizers. It provides individual nozzle control, allowing operators to maintain a consistent application rate, pressure, and droplet size across the entire boom, regardless of variations in speed or field terrain. This ensures that each plant receives the right amount of nutrients, which is essential for maximizing yield potential while minimizing input costs and environmental runoff.
By using pulse-width modulation (PWM) and Ag Leader’s proprietary Blended Pulse™ technology, RightSpot alternates pulsing between adjacent nozzles to achieve uniform coverage and better penetration. This precision is especially valuable in fertilization, where nutrient placement and consistency are critical. RightSpot reduces over- and under-application, prevents overlap on odd-shaped fields, and allows for real-time adjustments and diagnostics through a user-friendly interface.
Integrated with Ag Leader’s InCommand displays and other smart farming tools, RightSpot supports data-driven decision-making and contributes to more sustainable and productive agricultural practices. It is a robust solution for farmers seeking to optimize fertilization strategies with precision, efficiency, and control.
