Abstract
A method for remediating developmentally delayed plants within a field of crops using at least one work vehicle during a field operation. The method comprises identifying delayed plants within the field with a sensor on the work vehicle and generating, with a processor, location data associated with the location of the delayed plant with the field. Upon arriving at the location of the delayed plant with the work vehicle, the delayed plant is remediated.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- instructions;
- and
- a processor to execute the instructions to:
- identify a developmentally delayed plant within a field based on information from a sensor,
- generate location data corresponding to a location of the developmentally delayed plant, and
- store the location data for remediation of the developmentally delayed plant.
An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor;
- a laser;
- and
- processor circuitry communicatively coupled to the sensor and the laser, the processor circuitry to:
- determine a location of a plant requiring remediation based on stored location data and information from the sensor, the stored location data associated with the location of the plant requiring remediation within a field identified using agricultural data, and
- cause the laser to remediate the plant requiring remediation based on the location.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions, which, when executed, cause at least one processor to:
- identify, with a sensor on a work vehicle, at least one developmentally delayed plant within a field;
- generate location data corresponding to a location of the at least one developmentally delayed plant;
- and
- store the location data for remediation of the at least one developmentally delayed plant.
