Abstract
A method, system and an apparatus minimize over-seeding and disruption of previously placed seed in an overlap area, when applying an agricultural product to a field with an agricultural product delivery arrangement having row units, by dispensing a predetermined first product amount equal to one hundred percent of a desired application to the field in a first pass through the entire field including the overlap area, and then dispensing a second product amount in a subsequent pass through the overlap area without raising row units out of the soil during the subsequent pass. The second product amount is determined as a function of a percentage the predetermined first product amount applied to the overlap area during the first pass that is disturbed by operative engagement of the row units with the soil during the subsequent pass over the overlap area.
