Abstract: A precision planter having a frame configured to transport the precision planter through a crop area, at least one hopper coupled to the frame, and a seed dispersion system coupled to the frame. The seed dispersion system comprises a first seed meter, a funnel, and a seed dispersion tube, each configured to receive a first seed mix, which may include one or more types of seeds and/or fertilizer. The system also includes a fan, a seed dispersion tube, a seed dispersion head, and a plurality of seed hoses configured to deliver the first seed mix to the crop area. The seed dispersion system is configured to implement a prescription map of the crop area including at least two cover crop zones corresponding to seed mix(es) and or fertilizer prescriptions, which are determined based on location data. The seed dispersion system is configured to dispense the first seed mix at a first seed dispersion rate in the first cover crop zone.
