Abstract
A method of managing treatment of crop is disclosed. The method comprises: monitoring at least one parameter describing growth and/or condition of a plant and calculating a plant status function based on a value of the at least one parameter. The method further comprises comparing the calculated plant status function to a plant status baseline corresponding to a predicted yield or a predicted yield change, and operating a crop treatment system responsively to the comparison.
Claims27
A method of managing treatment of crop, comprising:
- monitoring a first parameter which comprises a maximal daily shrinkage of a plant part of the crop, and a second parameter describing daily growth rate of a plant part of the crop;
- calculating a plant status function based on a value of said first parameter and a value of said second parameter;
- comparing a value of said calculated plant status function to a value of a plant status baseline that is indicative of a predicted yield or a predicted yield change;
- and
- operating a crop treatment system responsively to said comparison.

A system for managing treatment of crop, comprising:
- a sensor system deployed and configured for monitoring a first and a second parameters describing growth and/or condition of a plant part of the crop;
- a data processor configured for receiving data from said sensor system, extracting said parameters from said data, said first parameter comprising a maximal daily shrinkage of said plant part, and a second parameter describing daily growth rate of said plant part, calculating a plant status function based on a value of said first parameter and a value of said second parameter, comparing a value of said calculated plant status function to a value of a plant status baseline that is indicative of a predicted yield or a predicted yield change;
- and
- a controller configured for operating a crop treatment system responsively to said comparison.
