Abstract
A method of managing treatment of crop is disclosed. The method comprises: monitoring a first parameter describing a daily shrinkage of a plant part of the crop, and a second parameter describing daily growth rate of a plant part of the crop. The method further comprises calculating a plant status function based on a value of the first parameter and a value of the second parameter, and operating a crop treatment system responsively to the plant status function.
Claims25
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;
- and
- operating a crop treatment system responsively to said plant status function.
A method of characterizing a status of a plant, the method comprising:
- receiving over a communication network a first parameter which comprises a maximal daily shrinkage of a part of the plant, and a second parameter describing daily growth rate of a part of the plant, and storing said parameters in a computer readable memory;
- operating a data processor for calculating a plant status function based on a value of said first parameter and a value of said second parameter, for transmitting said plant status function to a non-transitory computer readable medium or a display device;
- and
- transmit a signal to one or more cellular telephones to issue an alert when the value of plant status function is below a predetermined threshold.
A system for managing treatment of crop, comprising:
- a sensor system deployed and configured for measuring and transmitting over a communication network data pertaining to 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;
- and
- a data processor configured for receiving said data from said sensor system, storing said data in a computer readable memory, extracting said parameters from said data, calculating a plant status function based on a value of said parameters, and for transmitting a signal to one or more cellular telephones to issue an alert when the value of plant status function is below a predetermined threshold.
