With the rising costs of fertilizer and pesticides and a push towards increasing environmental stewardship, farmers are seeking means to save money while preserving the environment and wildlife habitat. One technology that aids in remedying these concerns is auto-swath control. This investigation evaluates overlap savings using this technology on different application equipment and resulting in economic savings for those adopting it. Several field boundaries were obtained from across the state exemplifying different sizes and shapes but representative for Alabama. Overlap analysis was conducted using GIS to determine percent savings when using auto-swath technology on a sprayer, planter, and N side-dress units. Overlap savings were summarized for each field and machine. Alabama Cooperative Extension System published crop production records were used for the economic analysis which included, corn (irrigated and rainfed), cotton (irrigated and rainfed), peanut, soybean, and wheat. Input costs considered were seed, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and liquid nitrogen fertilizer for each of these crops. Technology investment costs were also considered. A Field Index based on the field boundary was developed and evaluate as a means to predict overlap and estimate potential savings for other fields. Results suggested that this technology could result in cost savings of 1% to around 12% within a single field. On average, there were between 7% to 8% savings for those implementing this technology. Economic savings increased as technology became more precise (individual nozzle control) or larger (24 row planter). Average savings were estimated to be $4.83/ac when using a 5 boom sprayer and 12-row planter equipped with auto-swath technology. If nitrogen application is factored in, average savings increased to $8.36/ac. Irrigated corn produced the highest return at $13.19/ac. Overall savings proved to increase reciprocally as farm acreage decreased and as fields became more irregular.
