Abstract:
A method of moving at least two irrigation spans across a ground surface of a field may include receiving an initial movement control signal corresponding to a user-selected fluid application rate, determining the user-selected fluid application rate from the initial movement control signal, determining a position of at least one span in the field, modifying the initial movement control signal to a modified movement control signal according to a predetermined modification factor, with a value of the modification factor varying according to a position of the span in the field such that the modification factor varies among span positions, and sending the modified movement control signal to the drive motor control. A system is also disclosed.
