Abstract

An agricultural spraying system with a system to add in a second material to the main material that can expand the spraying system to include mixing.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . An agricultural system for applying fluid to a field comprising:
a first fluid line supplying a first fluid; a second fluid line supplying a second fluid; and a unit comprising:
a branch line in fluid communication with the first fluid line and leading to a single nozzle;
a valve disposed in the branch line disposed before the nozzle, the valve for controlling flow of the first fluid to the single nozzle;
a connector disposed in the branch line prior to or after the valve with the second fluid line in fluid communication with the connector, wherein the second fluid is added to the first fluid via the connector.

2 . The agricultural system of claim 1 , wherein the connector is disposed between the valve and the single nozzle.

3 . The agricultural system of claim 1 , wherein the connector is disposed before the valve.

4 . The agricultural system of claim 1 , wherein the connector is a push to connect connector.

5 . The agricultural system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises a plurality of units.

6 . The agricultural system of claim 1 , wherein there is a section comprising a plurality of units.

7 . The agricultural system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises a section having four units comprising a first unit, a second unit, a third unit, and a fourth unit, wherein the system is configured such that the first unit and the third unit are activated in unison and the second and fourth unit are activated in unison.

8 . The agricultural system of claim 5 , wherein there is one second fluid control valve for controlling flow of the second fluid to the connector of all the plurality of units.

9 . The agricultural system of claim 5 , wherein the system comprises a respective second fluid control valve for controlling flow of the second fluid to each connector.
