Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The F-16 is an Agricultural Monitor that can control furrow sprayers, managing the application of crop protection products. It uses its own GPS receiver and integrates with existing sensors on the furrow sprayer (such as flow meters and speed sensors).

In the cab, the monitor displays essential operation data to the operator in real-time.

Key functions:

  • Monitoring: Displays application rate (L/ha), travel speed (Km/h), and section status (on/off).

  • Rate Control: Allows the operator to adjust the desired application rate.

  • Section Control: Allows manual activation and deactivation of boom sections to avoid overlaps and waste.

The adjustment is done in real-time, with the operator manually setting the doses directly through the F-16 Monitor screen.

Yes. The system is designed to be compatible with various furrow sprayer models.

The main advantage of fixed rate technology, like that of the F-16 controller, is the consistency and precision of the application, which directly results in greater efficiency and input savings.

In a manual system, the applied dose fluctuates constantly with tractor speed: if the operator accelerates, the rate per hectare decreases; if they brake, the rate increases, causing significant waste due to overdosing.

The F-16 controller solves this problem. Using its GPS to read the actual speed and a sensor to measure flow, it automatically compensates for these variations in real-time. If the tractor accelerates, the system increases the flow to maintain the desired rate (e.g., 100 L/ha); likewise, it reduces flow when slowing down.

The result is the guarantee that the crop receives exactly the dose recommended by the agronomist, uniformly, eliminating waste costs.

It is the act of turning off (closing) parts of the spray boom to avoid overlap, which is the duplicate application of crop protection products in areas that have already been treated (such as borders and headlands).

Sprayer calibration (or regulation) — checking nozzles and adjusting pressure — remains essential to ensure the correct rate. After calibrating the machine, simply perform the application according to the desired rate, and the F-16 will do the rest.

Yes. The F-16 features connectivity to receive software updates and constant improvements, ensuring the producer always has access to the latest technologies.
