  • Publication number: 20220312661
    Abstract: The invention(s) include systems and methods for receiving and processing agriculture-associated samples with sample processing architecture structured to rapidly return outputs characterizing effects of agriculture inputs and practices over time. Control instructions based upon outputs of the systems and methods are then executed for maintaining or improving performance of crops and agriculture sites (e.g., in relation to yield, in relation to nutrient characteristics) in a sustainable manner (e.g., environmentally sustainable manner). System and method outputs can further be used to affect modifications to product treatments generated by associated manufacturers.
