Abstract
A method of controlling the application of power to a plurality of metering devices in a pesticide dispensing system permits operator controlled designation of row numbering, row-specific dispensing quantity of both seed and pesticide, and accurate records of starting and stopping times and locations. The method also permits operation of a large number of dispensing devices with a normal electrical system capacity by controlling the application or sequencing of power, the maximum power required by the system can be reduced at maximal speed and efficiency.
