Method for performing an agricultural operation on a predefined working area which is processed by means of an agriculture machine

A method for performing an agricultural operation on a predefined working area which is processed by means of an agriculture machine including at least one elongate unit, at least one tracking device, and a control device, the method comprising the steps of:

• using the at least one elongate unit to displace plant material substantially in a displacement direction and laying down rows of the plant material on the predefined working area,
• using the at least one tracking device to determine the position of the agriculture machine on the predefined working area and
• using the control device to perform at least one of:
• (1) determining the displacement direction of the at least one elongate unit for forming each row of laid down plant material on the predefined working area and (2) determining a travel path sequence of the agriculture machine for the formation of rows of laid down plant material on the predefined working area, wherein the control device is configured to use a predetermined irregular pattern of rows of plant material in the predefined working area to process the plant material in the predefined working area by performing at least one of the following steps based on input of the at least one tracking device:
• change or indicate to change the displacement direction of the at least one elongate unit between a formed row and a row to be formed in the predefined working area;
• change or indicate to change a travel path between a formed row and a row to be formed in the predefined working area, wherein between the row to be formed and the formed row there is at least one further travel path which has been processed or is to be processed by the agriculture machine,
• wherein the agriculture machine comprises at least two of the elongate units for displacing and laying down the plant material, wherein the displacement direction of the at least two elongate units can be controlled independently with respect to the other of the at least two elongate units, and
• wherein for laying down a row of plant material between the at least two elongate units a distance between the at least two elongate units is increased viewed in a direction substantially traverse to the direction of travel, wherein for laying down a row or rows of plant material on at least one of a right side and a left side of the agriculture machine with respect to the direction of travel of the agriculture machine the increased distance is maintained or the distance is reduced to substantially no distance between the at least two elongate units.
