Abstract
An agricultural device and a method for dispensing a liquid product over a surface. The device includes at least one boom and a plurality of nozzles positioned along the boom, a pressure regulation unit including a nozzle controller configured for controlling the opening and closing of one or more associated nozzles, and an inclination detection means for determining an inclination of the longitudinal supply line with respect to a horizontal. The pressure regulation unit and/or the at least one nozzle controller is configured to calculate nozzle operation data for each associated nozzle involving inclination data transmitted by the inclination detection means and the position of the nozzle on the longitudinal supply line, and the nozzle controller is configured to operate the nozzles based on the calculated nozzle operation data to obtain a homogeneous spraying of the liquid product over a surface of a field to be sprayed.
