By reducing product application overlap, Section Control decreases the total amount of product used in the field, lowering the input costs for your operation. Additionally, an increase in yields can be seen as there is less competition amongst plants who may suffer in overlapped areas of the field where the seed population is too high.  Some crops can be easily harmed by excessive chemical or fertilizer applications that negatively impact the yield potential of the crop.<br><br>Section Control also reduces your stress level, as you no longer need to focus on manually turning the implement sections on and off. This helps reduce fatigue, enabling you to run longer hours when time is of the essence. Section Control puts your mind at ease as less experienced operators get behind the wheel knowing that your product will be placed where intended.<br><br>Section Control improves efficiency of producers by:</p> <ul> <li>Reducing seed costs by an average savings of 4.3 percent (see reference below)</li> <li>Optimizing yield by preventing double application of seed that studies suggest reduces inputs between 1 to 12 percent yield loss (see reference below)</li> <li>Reducing operator fatigue, allowing for more operational hours in the field</li> </ul> <p>For compatibility information, reference Generation 4 Display compatibility.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="accordion2_component"><div class="accordion2_top"><div class="text-size-medium text-weight-bold">Enhance performance with tuning, plant-to-row, and boundary features</div><div class="accordion2_icon w-embed"><svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 32 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M25.3333 15.667V16.3336C25.3333 16.7018 25.0349 17.0003 24.6667 17.0003H17V24.667C17 25.0351 16.7015 25.3336 16.3333 25.3336H15.6667C15.2985 25.3336 15 25.0351 15 24.667V17.0003H7.3333C6.96511 17.0003 6.66663 16.7018 6.66663 16.3336V15.667C6.66663 15.2988 6.96511 15.0003 7.3333 15.0003H15V7.33365C15 6.96546 15.2985 6.66699 15.6667 6.66699H16.3333C16.7015 6.66699 17 6.96546 17 7.33365V15.0003H24.6667C25.0349 15.0003 25.3333 15.2988 25.3333 15.667Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></div></div><div style="width: 1118px; height: 0px;" class="accordion2_bottom"><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><div><div class="seccion-images"></div> <p>Get the best use of Section Control with performance tuning, which enables you to tune the planter mechanical delay on and off times so seed is placed at the intersection of two perpendicular passes. Correct skips and overlaps during entry and exit by setting the appropriate on/off time adjustments when entering distances and operating speed in the Section Control application. The application then makes the necessary changes to the system.</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/features_attachment/section_control_perf.jpg" alt="Enter distance and speed information for tuning"> <span class="caption">Enter distance and speed information for tuning</span> </div> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/features_attachment/section_control_skip.jpg" alt="Entering observed skips allows Section Control to adjust"> <span class="caption">Entering observed skips allows Section Control to adjust</span> </div> </div> <p>Once the system has been tuned, you can visualize the mechanical delay turn on/off times so that driving performance can be seen and better understood. For example, if there are acceleration changes when coming into or out of coverage, it can impact the look-ahead times to properly turn the seeder on or off, which can lead to more overlap or gaps in seed coverage. This additional visualization provides feedback to the operator on how the system is functioning and when the planter is turning on or off.</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/cc_gen4/gen_4_sctn_ctrl_visualize_perf_450x340.jpg" alt="Visualize performance when entering coverage"> <span class="caption">Visualize performance when entering coverage</span> </div> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/cc_gen4/gen_4_sctn_ctrl_feedback_syst_functioning_450x340.jpg" alt="Gain feedback on how the system is functioning"> <span class="caption">Gain feedback on how the system is functioning</span> </div> </div> <p dir="LTR" align="LEFT">In addition to tuning, plant-to-row functionality enhances your field performance by allowing you to customize the in-line skip or overlap observed at the intersection of a perpendicular planting pass. Default Performance Tuning settings command the planters mechanical delay times to place seed at the intersection of the last outer headland row, but skip or overlap settings can be customized to meet the specific needs of your operation. For example, producers who want a 15.2-cm (6-in.) skip to allow the corn head snout to pass between rows would set a 15.2-cm (6-in.) skip within the Seed Placement Settings.</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/cc_gen4/sct_ctrl_seed_placement_skip_450x265.jpg" alt="Seed Placement Settings of plant to row (default), skip or overlap"> <span class="caption">Seed Placement Settings of plant to row (default), skip or overlap</span> </div> </div> <p dir="LTR" align="LEFT">Section Control is also capable of preventing application of inputs outside of a field boundary, inside an interior field boundary, or outside of a headland boundary.</p> <ul> <li dir="LTR">Enabling headlands allows operators to plant the headlands after the interior of the field has been planted.</li> <li dir="LTR">Turning boundaries off provides operators with the flexibility to apply product outside of the field boundary while continuing to use the boundary for field totals, documentation, or field location.</li> </ul> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/cc_gen4/gen4_sect_ctrl_int_ext_bound_corn_450x338.jpg" alt="Section Control boundary settings in the display"> <span class="caption">Section Control boundary settings in the display</span> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="accordion2_component"><div class="accordion2_top"><div class="text-size-medium text-weight-bold">Improved ease of use with Gen 4 Section Control added features and functionality</div><div class="accordion2_icon w-embed"><svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 32 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M25.3333 15.667V16.3336C25.3333 16.7018 25.0349 17.0003 24.6667 17.0003H17V24.667C17 25.0351 16.7015 25.3336 16.3333 25.3336H15.6667C15.2985 25.3336 15 25.0351 15 24.667V17.0003H7.3333C6.96511 17.0003 6.66663 16.7018 6.66663 16.3336V15.667C6.66663 15.2988 6.96511 15.0003 7.3333 15.0003H15V7.33365C15 6.96546 15.2985 6.66699 15.6667 6.66699H16.3333C16.7015 6.66699 17 6.96546 17 7.33365V15.0003H24.6667C25.0349 15.0003 25.3333 15.2988 25.3333 15.667Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></div></div><div style="width: 1118px; height: 0px;" class="accordion2_bottom"><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><div><div class="seccion-images"></div> <p>An on/off shortcut key section status module allows you to quickly turn Section Control off for manual operation from any run page.</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/features_attachment/section_control_shortcut.jpg" alt="Section Control on/off shortcut"> <span class="caption">Section Control on/off shortcut</span> </div> </div> <p>Place the section status module on any run page to monitor Section Control performance on any screen with different layout options.</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/features_attachment/section_control_status.jpg" alt="Section status module"> <span class="caption">Section status module</span> </div> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/features_attachment/section_control_isobus.jpg" alt="John Deere planter ISOBUS implement split screens"> <span class="caption">John Deere planter ISOBUS implement split screens</span> </div> </div> <p>Monitor individual section statuses with the&nbsp;diagnostics table, allowing you to understand if a section is on or why the section is commanded off.</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/section_control/section_ctrl_diagnostics_table_600x387.jpg" alt="Section Control diagnostic table"> <span class="caption">Section Control diagnostic table</span> </div> </div> <h5>Section Control turn on/off time visualization</h5> <div class="seccion-images"></div> <p>Optimize driving patterns to reduce or eliminate operator-caused skips, gaps, or uneven performance across the width of a Section Control enabled tool.
