Abstract
A control system for multiple row units of an agricultural implement includes a controller configured to selectively enable automatic downforce control for at least one controllable ground-engaging tool of each row unit that is within a work zone of an agricultural field. The automatic downforce control for the at least one controllable ground-engaging tool includes controlling a downforce of the at least one controllable ground-engaging tool such that the downforce is within a threshold range of a respective target downforce. In addition, the controller is configured to selectively disable the automatic downforce control for the at least one controllable ground-engaging tool of each row unit that is within a no-work zone of the agricultural field, or selectively adjust the respective target downforce for the at least one controllable ground-engaging tool of each row unit that is within the no-work zone of the agricultural field.
