Rectangle grid

Would love to see custom grid size so i can make rectangle’s instead of square. Another software provider does and I see a real benefit in my work personally.

Thank you for your comment. Could you share more information on how it would help you? Please share screenshots of the case.

keeping in mind this is theory not practical experience. But the bottle neck in spot spray maps is the sprayers ability to process and keep up with the prescription on off map. Some do it well, some ok and some not at all.

I currently do a 1.5m cell + the cell buffer. Any smaller and I can start to see boom sections not fire and keep up. If I could make 1mx4.5m cells, I feel like the length of that is going to give good results yet spray less area then a square. I’ll also have a better chance of only having 1 of my 3m boom sections firing instead of 2 sections, the nature of it is I will always spray more then the suggested area mapped out because cells don’t line up with boom sections exactly. Also obviously rectangles would only benefit in larger straight run paddocks, not sure how headlands would work out either.

Just a suggestion, not sure how much goes into software development but if it can be done, why not.

PWM spray systems are the best at keeping up and have single or double nozzle sections. Have you heard of BBLeap? They retro fit the system and I wonder if anyone here has feedback on it and how small you can make the cells.

Thank you for your comment. What you aske makes sense, unfortunately, we can’t provide rectangle grids.

We don’t have experience with BBleap, but found:
””
Based on BBLeap’s own technical information, the “cell size” or spraying interval is stated as:

  • 10 cm interval at 36 km/h. This means the system is capable of changing the application rate for a single nozzle for every 10 centimeters of forward travel at that speed. This is a very small and highly precise “cell.”

This level of precision is what allows for “plant-level” spraying, especially when combined with task maps, AI, and camera-based detection systems (like BBLeap’s LeapEye) that can identify individual plants or weeds. The ability to control each nozzle individually and at a very high frequency is what enables this small cell size and the associated savings in inputs and improved crop health. ““
