Control system and method for landscape maintenance

A landscape map populating, landscape management and automatic landscape management action signal generating module comprising an automated processor communicatively connected to a first sensor located in a zone, the module comprising:

• a populating data receiving module configured to receive populating data about a first plant associated with an area of a map of the zone;
• a sensor data receiving module configured to receive, from the first sensor, first data regarding the first plant;
• the sensor data receiving module configured to receive, from the first sensor, at a time remote from a time of the receipt of the first data, second data regarding the first plant;
• an analyzer configured to compare automatically the first data with reference data of a plant of a same type as the first plant, and to judge a trend in a condition of the first plant by comparing the first data with the second data;
• the analyzer configured to determine automatically, based on the judging, a landscape management action for the area;
• and
• the module configured to transmit automatically a signal indicating the landscape management action according to the determination.

A landscape map populating, landscape management and automatic landscape management action signal generating system comprising an automated processor communicatively connected to a first sensor located in a zone, the system comprising:

• a populating data receiving module configured to receive populating data about a first plant and location data for associating the first plant with a first area of a map of the zone;
• a sensor data receiving module configured to receive at a first time, from the first sensor, first data regarding a condition obtaining in the first area;
• the sensor data receiving module configured to receive, from the first sensor, at a time subsequent to and remote from the first time, second data regarding the condition obtaining in the first area;
• an analyzer configured to compare automatically the first data with the second data and to judge a trend in the condition in the first area;
• the analyzer configured to determine automatically, based on the judging, a landscape management action for the area;
• and
• the system configured to transmit automatically a signal indicating the landscape management action according to the determination.
