  • Publication number: 20230351226
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method includes receiving agricultural data records comprising a first set of yield properties for a first set of seeds grown in a first set of environments, and receiving genetic feature data related to a second set of seeds. The method further includes generating a second set of yield properties for the second set of seeds associated with a second set of environments by applying a model using the genetic feature data and the agricultural data records. In addition, the method includes determining predicted yield performance for a third set of seeds associated with one or more target environments by applying the second set of yield properties, and generating seed recommendations for the one or more target environments based on the predicted yield performance for the third set of seeds. In the present example, the method also includes causing display of the seed recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20230177589
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method includes receiving a plurality of agricultural data records including yield properties of one or more products grown in a given field and continuous data indicative of multiple raw field features and specific to the given field. The method also includes transforming the raw field features into distinct feature classes and generating, using data from the plurality of agricultural data records and the distinct feature classes, genomic-by-environmental relationships between the one or more products. Further, the method includes generating, based at least in part on the genomic-by-environmental relationships, predicted yield performance for a set of products associated with one or more target environments, generating product recommendations for the one or more target environments based on the predicted yield performance for the set of products, and providing one or more instructions configured to cause display of the product recommendations.

  • Patent number: 11568467
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method includes receiving a plurality of agricultural data records including yield properties of products grown in fields and raw field features of the fields. The method also includes transforming the raw field features into distinct feature classes that characterize key features affecting yield of the one or more products, and generating, using data from the plurality of agricultural data records and the distinct feature classes, genomic-by-environmental relationships between one or more products, yield properties of the one or more products, and field features associated with the one or more products.

  • Publication number: 20210342719
    Abstract: Embodiments generate digital plans for agricultural fields. In an embodiment, a model receives digital inputs including stress risk data, product maturity data, field location data, planting date data, and/or harvest date data. The model mathematically correlates sets of digital inputs with threshold data associated with the stress risk data. The model is used to generate stress risk prediction data for a set of product maturity and field location combinations. In a digital plan, product maturity data or planting date data or harvest date data or field location data can be adjusted based on the stress risk prediction data. A digital plan can be transmitted to a field manager computing device. An agricultural apparatus can be moved in response to a digital plan.
