Controlling the operation of an agricultural implement of an agricultural vehicle

Abstract

A mechanism for controlling the operation of an agricultural implement of an agricultural vehicle. A camera of the agricultural vehicle captures a digital image of a target region in the vicinity of the agricultural vehicle. A control system of the agricultural vehicle processes the digital image to determine an indicator of plant population in the target region. The control system further controls, at least when the agricultural implement is performing the agricultural task in the target region, the functioning of the agricultural implement responsive to the indicator of plant population in the target region.
