In order to solve the problems such as the inability to automatically mix a variety of solid fertilizers and the unreasonable fertilizer amount, improve fertilizer utilization, and reduce production costs, this study designs a variable formula fertilization control system based on a prescription diagram, including pressure sensor, speed sensor, servo motor, fertilizer discharge actuator, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC controller), vehicle control terminal, etc. Based on pre-loaded soil prescription diagram and combining fertilizer pressure and ground wheel speed detection information, the system obtained a formula fertilization control strategy through calculation to realize the function of fast and automatic formula of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and precise variable fertilization. The experimental study on the performance of the variable formula fertilization control system showed the following: the measurement error range of the pressure sensor was 0.005~0.03%; the relationship between the motor speed and the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer discharged was calibrated. Three gears were established for the motor speed: low (10 r/min), medium (30 r/min), and high (50 r/min); the measurement accuracy of the speed sensor was above 98%. The test verified that the control accuracy of the variable formula fertilization system reached more than 95%, which met the requirements of fast automatic formula and precise variable fertilization and had good practicability and economy.
