Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a weed map of a field including a crop, the weed map representing weed plant locations on the field, identifying, based at least in part on the weed map, weed seed locations that represent presence of weed seeds on the field, and generating a control signal for a pre-emergence weed mitigation operation based on the weed seed locations.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a weed map of a field including a crop, the weed map representing weed plant locations on the field;
- identifying, based at least in part on the weed map, weed seed locations that represent presence of weed seeds on the field;
- and
- generating a control signal for a pre-emergence weed mitigation operation based on the weed seed locations.
1 more element
A computing system comprising:
- weed map identification logic configured to identify a weed map of a field including a crop, the weed map representing weed plant locations on the field;
- weed seed location identification logic configured to identify, based at least in part on the weed map, weed seed locations that represent presence of weed seeds on the field;
- and
- control logic configured to generate a control signal for a pre-emergence weed mitigation operation based on the weed seed locations.

A control system for an agricultural machine, the control system comprising:
- a weed seed mapping system configured to:
- obtain a weed map of a field including a crop, the weed map representing weed plant locations on the field;
- identify, based at least in part on the weed map, weed seed locations that represent presence of weed seeds on the field;
- and
- a control logic configured to generate a control signal for a pre-emergence weed mitigation operation based on the weed seed locations.
