A computing system includes image receiving logic configured to receive image data indicative of an image of a field, ground identification logic configured to identify a first image portion of the image representing ground in the field, image segmentation logic configured to identify a remaining image portion that omits the first image portion from the image, and crop classification logic configured to apply a crop classifier to the remaining image portion and identify a second image portion of the image that represents locations of crop plants in the field. The computing system also includes weed identification logic configured to identify locations of weed plants in the field based on the identification of the first and second image portions and control signal generation logic configured to generate a machine control signal based on the identified locations of the weed plants.

A method includes traversing, by the treatment system, along a path in an agricultural environment, receiving, by the treatment system, one or more sensor readings comprising one or more agricultural objects, identifying one or more objects of interest from the one or more agricultural objects by analyzing the one or more sensor readings, determining a first target object of the one or more objects of interest for treatment, selecting a treatment policy to treat the first target object, and activating the treatment mechanism to treat the first target object with the treatment policy.

An object of the present invention is to provide an agricultural work apparatus, an agricultural work management system, and a program capable of appropriately managing agricultural work information and smoothly implementing agricultural work and business in the future by making use of agricultural work information. An agricultural work apparatus may include: a first image-capturing device; an agricultural work determination unit that determines, on the basis of first image information obtained by capturing an image of a target of agricultural work through the first image-capturing device, whether or not to execute the agricultural work on the target; an agricultural work execution unit that executes the agricultural work; an agricultural work information generation unit that generates agricultural work information including a result of the agricultural work; a measurement unit that measures a position of the target; and an agricultural work information management unit that manages the agricultural work information and positional information.

A method of weed control is provided. The method comprising: (a) determining development of flowers of at least one weed species of interest; and (b) artificially pollinating at flowering the flowers of the at least one weed species of interest with pollen that reduces fitness of the at least one weed species of interest. Also provided are systems for executing the method.

A system for detecting the presence of a plant on the ground includes a light module configured to emit a light beam having a shape with a length longer than a width. The system may include one or more lenses each having one or more photodetectors. The photodetectors may be arranged in a side-by-side configuration and are configured to receive reflected portions of the light beam. The lenses may be configured to direct the reflected portions of the light beam onto the photodetectors.
