  • Patent number: 12653175
    Abstract: A method of selective spraying in a selective-spray system that includes a spray boom attached to an agricultural vehicle, the spray boom including a plurality of cameras and a plurality of selective-spray nozzles. The method includes capturing, with each camera, a respective image of a respective region of an agricultural field, each region at a predetermined distance from the spray boom, each image associated with a respective selective-spray nozzle; automatically analyzing, with a computer, each image for a presence of at least one weed; automatically detecting, with the computer, the at least one weed in one or more images; and automatically selectively spraying one or more of the respective regions of the agricultural field using one or more of the selective-spray nozzles according to the one or more images where the at least one weed is detected.

  • Patent number: 12642265
    Abstract: A retrofit dual sprayer system comprises an agricultural vehicle having a broadcast tank mounted thereon, the broadcast tank having a first volumetric capacity for holding general-application liquid chemical(s) for preventing undesirable plants from growing in an agricultural field, a selective-spot spray (SSP) tank retrofitly mounted on the agricultural vehicle, the SSP tank having a second volumetric capacity for holding specific liquid chemical(s) for treating one or more target weeds growing in the agricultural field, the second volumetric capacity greater than or equal to about 5% of the first volumetric capacity and less than or equal to about 30% of the first volumetric capacity, a spray boom attached to the agricultural vehicle, the spray boom including broadcast nozzles mounted on the spray boom, the broadcast nozzles fluidly coupled to the broadcast tank, and SSP nozzles retrofitly mounted on the spray boom, the SSP nozzles fluidly coupled to the SSP tank.

  • Patent number: 12538913
    Abstract: A system for spot or band spraying of a treatment applied to target areas includes nozzle units that are connected to a liquid conducting member and spaced at horizontal intervals. Each nozzle unit includes first and second nozzles configured to spray droplets around opposing spraying vectors. For each target area, a spraying vector of a first nozzle of a first nozzle unit crosses a spraying vector of a second nozzle of an adjacent second nozzle unit. When a boom is at an operation height, each location within a target area receives a predefined cumulative volume of treatment, and spray patterns of the first and second nozzles of adjacent nozzle units overlap by at least 10%. When the boom is within 5% deviation from the predetermined operation height, each location within the target area receives a predefined minimum percentage of the predefined cumulative value of the treatment.

  • Patent number: 12400278
    Abstract: There is provided a system for customized application of herbicides, comprising: a processor(s) executing a code for: feeding test images corresponding to a target agricultural field into a machine learning model trained on a training dataset of sample images of sample agricultural field(s) labelled with ground truth of weed parameters, selecting specific weed parameter(s) of according to performance metric(s) of the model, setting up instructions for triggering application of a first herbicide to a portion of the target agricultural field in response to an outcome of the model indicating likelihood of the specific weed parameter(s) being depicted in an input image of the portion of the target agricultural field, and setting up instructions for triggering application of a second herbicide to the portion of the target agricultural field in response to the outcome of the model indicating non-likelihood of the specific weed parameter(s) being depicted in the input image.
