Abstract
Chemical application is one of the most important field operation in rice production . Rolling of a boom due to local unevenness and softness in fields causes a local under/over-application of spray. This study was conducted to develop a control system for balancing a boom. A boom mounting mechanism was modfied and a control algorithm was developed in the study. The results for testing the performance of the control system showed that the system could balance the boom in flat and inclined fields. This research can contribute to improve spraying uniformity in applying agricultural chemicals with a boom sprayers.
