Complements the System 200 Seed Rate Controller with accurate application of NH3 Anhydrous as a fertilizer. Simply specify the amount of nitrogen to be applied per acre and the System 200 does the rest.

The controller also works in conjunction with Auto Section Control and Variable Rate Control to prevent overlap and control the amount and area applied.
