Abstract
A method for controlling application of agrichemical products, comprises acquiring remotely sensed digital image data; developing a prescription to apply at least one agrichemical product in a variable manner based on at least the digital image data, wherein the prescription describes a plurality of passes of a particular autonomous vehicle over a field to apply the at least one agrichemical product; applying the at least one agrichemical product to a crop in the variable manner by the particular autonomous vehicle according to the prescription.
Claims19
A method for controlling application of agrichemical products, comprising:
- acquiring remotely sensed digital image data, comprising:
- receiving a first set of data from a hotspot remote imagery subsystem;
- generating a set of diagnostic instructions based on the first set of data;
- and
- using the set of diagnostic instructions, remotely controlling a diagnostic scouting subsystem on a scouting mission to obtain a second set of data;
- developing a prescription to apply at least one agrichemical product in a variable manner based on at least the digital image data, wherein the prescription describes a plurality of passes of a particular autonomous vehicle over a field to apply the at least one agrichemical product;
- applying the at least one agrichemical product to a crop in the variable manner by the particular autonomous vehicle according to the prescription.
A method for controlling application of agrichemical products, comprising:
- acquiring remotely sensed digital image data;
- obtaining historical data from at least one prior growing season;
- developing a prescription to apply at least one agrichemical product in a variable manner based on the digital image data and the historical data, wherein the prescription describes a plurality of passes of a particular autonomous vehicle over a field to apply the at least one agrichemical product;
- applying the at least one agrichemical product to a crop in the variable manner by the particular autonomous vehicle according to the prescription.
