A control system (30) for residue management with an agricultural implement (10) is disclosed. The control system (30): at least one image sensor (74, 78) mounted to the agricultural implement (10) to capture a first image of an area (76, 80) of ground ahead of or behind the agricultural tillage implement (10); a computing device that determines an indicator of residue coverage on the area (76, 80) of ground; wherein the computing device further determines if the indicator is within a regulatory standard addressing erosion that specifies a target percent coverage; wherein the computing device further determines an effect of an operation on the residue coverage based upon the determined indicator; and wherein the agricultural implement (10) changes one or more aspects of a subsequent or on-the-go ground engaging operation on the area (76, 80) of ground based upon the effect and based upon the determined indicator. Further, a method (200) for residue management for an agricultural implement (10) with at least one image sensor (74, 78) is disclosed.
摘要:
A control system for operation of one or more agricultural operations and a method (200) for such operation is disclosed. The control system and method (200) enables execution of a first operation on a field with an implement (10) resulting in residue on the field. A first image is captured with a camera assembly (74, 78) of an area of the field that is ahead of or behind the implement (10). The first image is analyzed to determine an indicator of residue coverage on the field. A subsequent operation on the field is executed, one or more aspects of which are controlled based upon the determined indicator of residue coverage.
