Abstract:
A plant necrosis method including: identifying a junction between a plant and a surface of a substrate mechanically supporting the plant; determining a junction distance between the junction and a traversal path for a treatment mechanism, the treatment mechanism having an active area and configured to traverse along the traversal path; selecting an initial treatment parameter based on a junction distance from the traversal path; and dislodging the plant from the substrate with the treatment mechanism in response to a treatment mechanism operation parameter satisfying the initial treatment parameter.
Abstract:
A method for plant treatment, including: receiving a first measurement for a plant from a sensor as the sensor moves within a geographic area comprising a plurality of plants; in response to receipt of the first measurement and prior to receipt of a second measurement for a second plant of the plurality, determining a set of treatment mechanism operation parameters for the plant to optimize a geographic area output parameter based on the first measurement and historical measurements for the geographic area; determining an initial treatment parameter for the plant; and operating a treatment mechanism in a treatment mode based on the set of operating parameters in response to satisfaction of the initial treatment parameter.
