Methods and systems for detection of agricultural spraying errors

A method, comprising:

• determining whether a tractor is spraying;
• if the tractor is not spraying, determining that no spraying error is occurring;
• if the tractor is spraying, determining whether the spraying is appropriate for a current weather condition;
• if the spraying is not appropriate for the current weather condition, issuing an alert;
• if the spraying is appropriate for the current weather conditions, determining whether a current speed of the tractor is within a speed guideline;
• if the current speed of the tractor is not within the speed guideline, issuing an alert;
• if the current speed of the tractor is within the speed guideline, determining whether a current flow rate of the tractor is within a flow rate guideline;
• if the current flow rate of the tractor is not within the flow rate guideline, issuing an alert;
• if the current flow rate of the tractor is within the flow rate guideline, determining whether a current location of the tractor is within a block;
• and
• if the current location of the tractor is not within the block, issuing an alert.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a current location sample;
• determining whether the current location sample is of sufficient quality;
• if the current location sample is not of sufficient quality, discarding the current location sample;
• if the current location sample is of sufficient quality, determining whether the current location sample is within a same row as at least one prior location sample;
• if the current location sample is not within the same row as the at least one prior location sample, discarding the current location sample;
• if the current location sample is within the same row as the at least one prior location sample, assigning the current location sample to the same row and generating an updated block map;
• determining whether the updated block map includes a potential skipped row;
• issuing an alert if the potential skipped row remains a potential skipped row for an amount of time greater than a first threshold;
• determining whether the updated block map includes potential adjacent skipped rows;
• issuing an alert if the potential adjacent skipped rows remain potential adjacent skipped rows for an amount of time greater than a second threshold;
• identifying duplicate spraying within a duplicate spraying row;
• and
• issuing an alert for the duplicate spraying.
