A crop input applicator system for controlling the application of crop inputs from each dispensing point. The applicator is equipped with a locating system and an on-board computer. The on-board computer uses location data collected from the locating system, along with machine signature data, and application maps to create status maps indicating the area treated by crop inputs. The computer compares the status map to the current location of the applicator and based on the comparison automatically controls dispensing points so that those dispensing points over an area previously treated are deactivated, while dispensing points over an area not yet treated remain active.
