Abstract: A handheld sensor is disclosed. The sensor has a microcontroller, a current pulse control unit coupled to a light emitting diode (LED), and a photodiode. The microcontroller controls the current pulse control unit to provide a pulsed illumination of a target plant and the photodiode reads the magnitude of the reflectance from the target plant. The microcontroller accepts the reading from the photodiode and computes a normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI) based at least on the reading.

Abstract: A method for in-season macro and micronutrient application based on predicted yield potential and a nutrient response index. The inventive method includes the steps of: determining a nutrient response index for a field, determining the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of an area to fertilize; determining a predicted crop yield for the area; determining an attainable crop yield for the area; determining the nutrient requirement for the area as the difference between the nutrient removal at the attainable yield minus the nutrient removal at the predicted yield, adjusted by the efficiency of nutrient uptake in the particular crop. In one preferred embodiment, processing requirements at the time of application of the nutrient are eased by generating a lookup table of nutrient requirement relative to measured NDVI prior to application of the nutrient.

Abstract: A low pressure plural component mixing nozzle for mixing plural component materials for coating the interior of small diameter conduits. A body defines a first passageway that extends from a right to a left side. The body further defines a second passageway communicating an inlet side with the first passageway proximate the right side and defining a third passageway communicating the inlet side with the first passageway proximate the left side. A fourth passageway passes through the body from the inlet side to the exit side. A mixer, such as a mixing cartridge, is located in the first passageway for mixing a fluid from the second passageway and a fluid from the third passageway and directing a mixture of the fluids into contact with fluid flowing through the fourth passageway wherein the mixture flows to an exit nozzle on a distal end of the body stem for exiting the device.
