Abstract: A system for spraying objects in a field, wherein the system includes a treatment hoist connectable to a mobile platform main deck. The treatment hoist includes a treatment platform that is structured and operable to support and carry at least one treatment container, and at least one lift assembly. The lift assembly is structured and operable to lower the treatment platform to a loading position and raise the treatment platform to a dispensing position. In the loading position the treatment platform is lowered such that the treatment container(s) can be secured on the treatment platform in order to configure the system to dispense a desired solution, wherein the solution comprises at least one object treatment contained in treatment container(s). In the dispensing position the treatment platform is raised to a height above the objects in order for the system to dispense the solution onto the objects.

Abstract: A detasseler system mountable to a mobile platform, wherein the system comprises a lift assembly and a detasseling assembly connected to the lift assembly. The detasseling assembly structured and operable to detassel the plants in a single row of plants in a test plot as the detasseler system is moved through the test plot. The detasseling assembly comprises a head assembly comprising a carrier bar connected to the lift assembly, a cutter head disposed at a first distal end of the carrier bar, and a puller head disposed at an opposing second distal end of the carrier bar. The detasseling assembly additionally comprises a sensor boom fixedly connected at a proximal end to the lift assembly, and an angled sensor bar assembly connected to sensor boom.
