A modular system includes a hub and a set of modules removably coupled to the hub. The modules are physically coupled to the frame relative to each other so that each module can operate with respect to a different row of a field. An individual module includes a sensor for capturing field measurement data of individual plants along a row as the modular system moves through the geographic region. An individual module further includes a treatment mechanism for applying a treatment to the individual plants of the row based on the field measurement data before the modular system passes by the individual plants. An individual module further includes a computing device that determines the treatment based on the field measurement data and communicates data to the hub. The hub is communicatively coupled to the modules, so that it may exchange data between the modules and with a remote computing system.
An agricultural system comprising:
A method for treating a plant in a field using an agricultural system as the agricultural system traverses the field, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for treating a plant in a field using an agricultural system as the agricultural system traverses the field, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
