A method performing an agricultural task on a field, the method comprising: identifying a number of plants in the field on a per unit area; determining a field pattern of plant maintenance for the plants in the field, the field pattern comprising: a planting instruction for travel in a first direction; and a plant maintenance instruction for travel in a second direction which is not parallel to the first direction, the plant maintenance instruction generated using at least one parameter corresponding to the number of plants in the field on a per unit area.

A transplanting device and method to eliminate seedling replanting stresses and reduce transplanting time, allowing several seedlings to quickly and efficiently go into the ground at one time in one fluid motion. The generally rectangular box has a sliding drip plate, supported above the box floor, creating an open region, allowing for water drainage and retention through the plurality of drain holes. The first short side and the opposing second short side are detachable and removable from the generally rectangular box. An alternative method provides an open top and open end slide tray in which a plurality of sliding drip plates are arrayed and separated into a plurality of plate spaces, having a plurality of seedling plants. A pair of slide handles is used to easily remove and identify the seedling plants.

Systems and methods are provided for imposing physical actions, by endpoints, based on activities by users. One such method includes imposing a physical actions via a drone, by an endpoint associated with the drone, based on an activity undertaken by a user. The method includes receiving, by a computing device, an activity message including data indicative of an activity of a user and retrieving at least on rule from a data structure based on the data indicative of the activity where the at least one rule includes a physical action for said activity of the user. The method then includes identifying, by the computing device, the physical action from the at least one rule and transmitting, by the computing device, an order for the physical action to an endpoint, whereby the endpoint commands a drone to perform the physical action.

A method is proposed for remotely growing plants in a planting zone that is divided into multiple planting areas. Via an electronic device that communicates with a remote automated planting sub-system in the planting zone, a user may select desired planting area(s) and desired type(s) of plant precursors on the electronic device, and remotely cause the remote automated planting sub-system to plant the selected type(s) of plant precursors into the selected planting area(s).
