Abstract: A method for determining setting recommendations for an agricultural spreader includes the steps of: determining an uneven spreading-material distribution in a usable agricultural area or an uneven nutritional status of plants in the usable agricultural area, determining an ideal balancing distribution of spreading material that balances out unevenness of the determined spreading-material distribution in the usable agricultural area or unevenness of the determined nutritional status of the plants in the usable agricultural area, and determining setting recommendations for the agricultural spreader for implementing a balancing distribution of the spreading material, wherein the balancing distribution approximates the ideal balancing distribution.

Abstract: Implementations are described herein for localizing individual plants by aligning high-elevation images using invariant anchor points while disregarding variant feature points, such as deformable plants. High-elevation images that capture the plurality of plants at a resolution at which wind-triggered deformation of individual plants is perceptible between the high-elevation images may be obtained. First regions of the high-elevation images that depict the plurality of plants may be classified as variant features that are unusable as invariant anchor points. Second regions of the high-elevation images that are disjoint from the first set of regions may be classified as invariant anchor points. The high-elevation images may be aligned based on invariant anchor point(s) that are common among at least some of the high-elevation images. Based on the aligned high-elevation images, individual plant(s) may be localized within one of the high-elevation images for performance of one or more agricultural tasks.

Abstract: A system provides for receiving data representing a policy with which to implement one or more actions in association with one or more subsets of agricultural objects. The system identifies a subset of payloads to provide actions based on data representing the policy for one or more subsets of agricultural objects. The system determines whether a payload is sufficient to implement the one or more actions. The system transmits data representing executable instructions to implement the one or more actions.

Abstract: A method of identifying NPK-deficiency includes measuring intensities of light reflected from a cannabis plant to produce intensities at a set of spectral bands, wherein the cannabis plant is one variety of a plurality of varieties of cannabis. The intensities are applied to a classifier so that the classifier provides one of an indication that the cannabis plant is NPK-deficient or an indication that the cannabis plant is NPK-sufficient, wherein the classifier has been trained using plants that include each of the plurality of varieties of cannabis.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating and predicting a set of crop-associated features at an agriculture site, the method comprising: receiving a set of samples associated with the agriculture site; generating a sample dataset upon processing the set of samples with a set of sample processing operations; generating a set of microbiome-associated features upon performing a set of transformation operations upon the sample dataset; and returning an analysis characterizing the set of crop-associated features based upon the set of microbiome-associated features. The method can further include steps for executing an action for producing a desired outcome in relation to the agriculture site, with respect to a specific soil type and a specific crop, based upon the analysis.

Abstract: A fertilization assistance apparatus estimates estimation soil nitrogen distribution in a farm field by analyzing color of soil of the farm field in a captured image in which the farm field before planting is imaged. The fertilization assistance apparatus determines whether there is a correlation between the color of soil and growth situation of a crop in the farm field. In a case where there is a correlation between the color of soil and the growth situation of the crop in the farm field, the fertilization assistance apparatus generates basal fertilizer variable fertilization information using the information about the estimation soil nitrogen distribution. The basal fertilizer variable fertilization information indicates a relationship between the position in the farm field and the amount of applied fertilizer at the position in a case where the variable fertilization of basal fertilizer is performed.

Abstract: A soil monitoring system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to instruct an actuator to drive a shank to move upwardly and downwardly, such that at least one soil monitoring sensor coupled to a lateral side of the shank moves in a cyclical pattern through soil as the shank is driven to move through the soil along a direction of travel. The controller is also configured to receive multiple sensor signals from the at least one soil monitoring sensor while the at least one soil monitoring sensor is at respective depths within the soil, in which each sensor signal is indicative of at least one soil property. In addition, the controller is configured to determine a vertical profile of the at least one soil property based on the sensor signals.
