ABSTRACT

IR sensor technology, DGPS, and microwave signals are used in several new products offered by Advanced Sensing and Controls (formerly AGRIPLAN). These technologies are used to help track module and navigate module trucks, control the flow of cotton in the gin, measure and control lint and seedcotton moisture, measure seed and trash weight on the fly, and provide real time account of the gin performance (the Monitor™). For cotton growers ASCI has introduced a low cost, hands free yield monitor. A high accuracy IR weight monitor for test plot and precision yield evaluation purposes. Each of these products.
