Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for selectively applying at least one crop protection product onto an agricultural field (40), comprising the following steps: —providing image data of at least a part of an agricultural field (40) which is to be treated with a crop protection product; —providing a crop planting row identification model (63) configured to identify crop planting rows (42) in the image data of the at least one part of the agricultural field (40); —providing a weed plant detection model (65) configured to detect weed plants (46) between the identified crop planting rows (42); —providing a crop and weed detection model (67) configured to detect crop plants (41) and weed plants (46) in the identified crop planting rows (42); —applying a first crop protection product (44) onto a weed plant (46) detected between the identified crop planting rows (42); —applying the first crop protection product (44) onto a weed plant (46) detected in the identified crop planting rows (42), if a distance between the weed plant and an adjacent crop plant is larger than a dynamic determined rows minimal distance.
