Abstract

A method is proposed for calculation of optimized filling amounts for containers of a machine for application of an agricultural material, in which a path plan is created and a constant or site-specific variable amount of the agricultural material to be applied along the paths for each container provided in the path plan for the individual containers is added up for calculation and output of the amounts to be filled in each case. In addition, an optimized path plan can be calculated for the machine in terms of a balancing of the amounts of agricultural material to be removed from the individual containers.
