A system for managing the dosing of inputs to be applied to a surface includes an electronic device housed on board an agricultural machine and a remote management server. The electronic device includes a weather sensor for measuring a weather condition, a central unit for collecting a weather datum containing information relating to the measured weather condition, and—first communication means for transmitting the weather datum to the management server. The management server includes—a processor for processing the weather datum and usage-specific data so as to generate a dosing recommendation for the inputs on the basis of a predetermined and learning dosing model, and—second transmission means for transmitting the dosing recommendation to a communication terminal.

Various embodiments relate generally to computer vision and automation to autonomously identify and deliver for application a treatment to an object among other objects, data science and data analysis, including machine learning, deep learning, and other disciplines of computer-based artificial intelligence to facilitate identification and treatment of objects, and robotics and mobility technologies to navigate a delivery system, more specifically, to an agricultural delivery system configured to identify and apply, for example, an agricultural treatment to an identified agricultural object. In some examples, a method may include, receiving data representing a policy specifying a type of action for an agricultural object, selecting an emitter with which to perform a type of action for the agricultural object as one of one or more classified subsets, and configuring the agricultural projectile delivery system to activate an emitter to propel an agricultural projectile to intercept the agricultural object.

The present invention relates to the technical field of fertilizer and soil conditioner production, and particularly to a regulating solution, fertilizer and soil conditioner for increasing Vitamin C (abbreviated as Vc, which is also known as ascorbic acid) content of plants as well as a preparation method therefor and application thereof. At the same time, the present invention also relates to a resource utilization technique of wasted liquid in the industrial production of vitamin C. The regulating solution is obtained by regulating the pH value of a wasted gulonic acid mother solution (a residue after evaporation of fermentation liquid from vitamin C industry) or/and 2-keto-L-gulonic acid solution by an alkaline solution, wherein a fertilizer regulating solution is obtained by regulating the pH value of the regulating solution to 3.0-9.0; and a soil conditioner regulating solution is obtained by regulating the pH value of the regulating solution to 2.0-10.0. The regulating solution obtained by the present invention and the fertilizer and soil conditioner prepared by using the regulating solution as a raw material can significantly increase Vc content of plants, and the effect can be found in all plants tested.

Methods of determining apportionments for agricultural products (e.g., fixed amounts of seed) to one or more growing locations (e.g., agricultural fields) for a first growing season based upon growing performances of at least one of first growing locations or second growing locations different from or overlapping with the first growing locations can include remotely collecting intrinsic and extrinsic attributes for the second growing locations, the extrinsic attributes for a second growing season prior to the first growing season, determining aggregate commercial desirabilities for crop samples grown in the second growing locations, normalizing the aggregate commercial desirabilities to establish commercial desirability indices, training a controller to identify a subset of attributes selected from the intrinsic and extrinsic attributes and correlated with the commercial desirability indices, remotely collecting intrinsic and extrinsic attributes for the first growing locations, and predicting commercial desirability indices for the first growing locations based upon the identified attributes.

The invention relates to controlling a driving condition for an agricultural machine having a tractor, an implement for applying materials selected from the group of granular material, liquid material, and a powder-form material, the implement carried or trailed by the tractor and comprising a supply container, an application device, and a weight sensor device having at least one weight sensor and configured to sense an empty weight and a filling weight for the supply container. A tractor implement management system is provided and is operationally connected to the weight sensor device and configured for controlling driving conditions of the tractor. The method comprises driving the tractor, measuring first weight signals, indicative of a first driving condition, providing first tractor control signals, generated in response to the first weight signals and configured to apply a first control condition to the tractor driving, for controlling the tractor driving.

Liquid fertilizer compositions and methods of making and using the compositions for fertilizing crops are provided. A liquid fertilizer formulated to enhance plant growth is infused with nano-bubbles that increase the efficacy of the liquid fertilizer. The liquid fertilizer is mixed and homogenized before flowing the liquid fertilizer through a nano-bubble generator. The liquid fertilizing composition infused with nano-bubbles may be applied to soil in the same manner as standard liquid fertilizers to further promote plant growth.
