  • Patent number: 12271958
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a risk of damage to a crop on a field are described. In an example embodiment, a method for limiting such damage to a crop includes receiving, for multiple hours, weather data identifying temperature values and humidity values for a geographic location of the field, determining, for the multiple hours, that a temperature value is within a first range of values and a humidity value is within a second range of values and, identifying each of the multiple hours as a risk hour for a disease. The method also includes computing a risk value for the field based on the identified risk hours, determining that the risk value is above a threshold, and determining that the crop on the field is at risk for the disease. The method then includes spraying the crop on the field with a damage mitigating chemical specific to the disease.

  • Patent number: 11423492
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a risk of damage to a crop on an agronomic field are described. In an embodiment, a computer system receives, for each hour of a first day, weather data identifying temperature values and humidity values associated with a geographic location. The computer system determines, for a particular hour of the first day, that a temperature value is within a first range of values and a humidity value is within a second range of values and, in response, identifies the particular hour as a risk hour. The computer system computes, for a second day, a risk value for one or more agronomic fields at the geographic location based, at least in part, on one or more identified risk hours between a day of planting a crop on the one or more agronomic fields and the second day.
