8.1.3.6. Minimum Rate Speed

*Screen type = Value editing

*Decimal places = None
Minimum value = 0 (parameter disabled)
Maximum value = 20 km/h

There are situations in which spraying operation requires implement nozzles formed cone or jet spray to maintain its configuration at all times, even when machine speed is reduced. To address these cases, the GeoNave system implements Minimum Rate Speed parameter. When its value is greater than zero, system calculation performed in L/ha will consider the speed in km/h configured in this parameter, even if machine speed is lower. The read rate in L/ha will be momentarily higher than the target rate, however spraying droplet configuration will be maintained, meeting application requirements.

The image below shows Minimum Rate Speed parameter setting screen.

*Minimum Rate Speed ​​operates in conjunction with Minimum Pressure and Minimum Flow.

!When using Minimum Rate Speed, Minimum Pressure and Minimum Flow, the equipment may apply a higher rate than desired if the configured values ​​are overestimated, which may generate phytotoxicity and/or insufficient spraying.
