Current fertilizer flow meters tell you if fertilizer is flowing, not the rate that is being applied on each row. FlowSense allows you to measure the rate of fertilizer you are applying on each row of your planter, to make you aware of any row-to-row variability that is occurring so that you can be confident in your application rate.

See What is Really Happening

We all want to know the truth of equipment performance.  Whether it be running well, or an issue that is occurring that is currently not known about, it is important to either be confident in equipment or make an adjustment.  When it comes to liquid, rates, plumbing, pumps, and pulsation can all affect application and most times a problem is unknown.

FlowSense Let's You Know

Option for Using Different Grades

EM FlowSense is designed with no physical components in the liquid stream, so it works well with any grade of fertilizer–even thick products and products in suspension. The traditional turbine is replaced with an electromagnet.   Adequate moisture is needed in the soil for a seed to germinate.  If the soil does not have enough moisture for a seed to germinate, it will take a rain shower to get enough moisture for that seed to germinate.  SmartFirmer measures and displays soil moisture in the cab so you can make adjustments to get seeds into adequate moisture. 

Moving to Control

FlowSense measures what rate each row is applying.  Sometimes, an issue is illuminated which needs a change in control systems to correct.   That is where vApplyHD comes in.  vApplyHD is a control system that incorporates flow measurement, rate control, and swath control into one module that can be configured for section or row-by-row control.  See how it solves common issues in fertilizer delivery systems.
