Abstract
Described herein are implements, systems, and methods for applying stress to agricultural plants of agricultural fields. In one embodiment, an agricultural implement comprises a frame transverse to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement and a stress mechanism disposed on the frame in operation such that the stress mechanism applies a force to the row of plants as the agricultural implement moves through the field.
Claims35
An agricultural implement comprising:
- a frame transverse to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement;
- and
- a stress mechanism disposed on the frame in operation such that the stress mechanism applies a force to the row of plants as the agricultural implement moves through the field.
An agricultural implement comprising:
- a frame transverse to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement;
- a stress mechanism disposed on the frame in operation such that the stress mechanism applies a force to the row of plants;
- and
- at least one drive to provide a driving mechanism;
- wherein the stress mechanism is coupled to the at least one drive in operation such that the drive provides the driving mechanism to cause the stress mechanism to apply the force to the row of plants in the field as the agricultural implement moves through the field.
2 more elements
A method of crimping soy beans, comprising:
- moving a stress mechanism on a frame of an agricultural implement through a field of early stage soybeans;
- and
- applying, with the stress mechanism, a force to cause crimping of at least one row of plants as the agricultural implement moves through the field.
