An agricultural mowing device includes a shaft, a first cutting device, and a second cutting device. The shaft has an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section. The shaft is advanced in a field between two adjacent rows of planted matter. The first cutting device is mounted to the lower section of the shaft. The first cutting device extends laterally from the shaft to a distance covering only a distance between the two adjacent rows. The first cutting device cuts plant matter that grows between the two adjacent rows. The second cutting device is mounted to the middle section of the shaft. The second cutting device extends laterally from the shaft to a distance covering at least a portion of at least one of the two adjacent rows. The second cutting device cuts plant matter that grows in the at least one of the two adjacent rows.

A plant weeding device according to the present invention includes: a housing having a coupling hole penetrating a center of the housing; a rod penetrating the coupling hole and configured to be resiliently movable and rotatable; a weeding blade coupled to one end of the rod and configured to cooperatively rotate and dig up the soil to remove weeds from plants; and a power means configured to be coupled to or separated from the other end of the rod and configured to rotate the rod.

An illustrative modular smart implement for precision agriculture includes a chassis having a hydraulic system, a control system, and articulating tool arms that are adapted to releasably receive one of a tool attachment for working a crop and/or field, including precision planting, cultivating, thinning, spraying, harvesting, and/or data collection. A toolbar fixed to the chassis receives and supports the articulating tools arms. An alignment member and side shift actuator provide movement of a portion of the tool arms along an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the toolbar, and a lift actuator provide movement along a vertical axis.

An illustrative control system for an precision agricultural implement includes a controller having a convolutional neural network, a machine vision module, a plurality of sensors, and a plurality of actuators in communication with the controller, the plurality of actuators including a plurality of agricultural tool actuators.

A system includes a memory having instructions therein and at least one processor in communication with the memory. The at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to acquire phytomorphological field data via a sensor component of a mobile robot, generate, based on the phytomorphological field data and via a machine learning agent, a predicted likelihood of whether a hypothetical action by the mobile robot against a found plant would be directed against a true Toxicodendron plant, conduct a non-phytomorphological assessment of the found plant via the mobile robot and based on the predicted likelihood being below a first threshold and above a second threshold, and, via the mobile robot and based on the non-phytomorphological assessment, attack the found plant, mark a site of the found plant, and/or document a context of the site.

An agricultural harvesting machine includes crop processing functionality configured to engage crop in a field, perform a crop processing operation on the crop, and move the processed crop to a harvested crop repository, and a control system configured to identify a weed seed area indicating presence of weed seeds, and generate a control signal associated with a pre-emergence weed seed treatment operation based on the identified weed seed area.
