Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a suitability index for the application of an agricultural product to a field with an application device is provided, wherein the method comprises providing vegetation data (302) associated with a biomass distribution on the field, providing machinery characteristics associated with a machinery footprint of the application device (202) on the field (108?), generating a machinery cell grid (305) from the machinery characteristics, wherein the machinery cell grid (305) comprises at least one cell (305a, 305b), generating a dosage cell grid (307) from the vegetation data and the machinery cell grid (305), wherein the dosage cell grid (307) indicates a dosage for the application of the agricultural product for the at least one cell (305a, 305b), generating a matching factor by matching the dosage cell grid and the vegetation data, generating the suitability index (309) based on the matching factor and providing the suitability index (309).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for estimating a product consumption of an agricultural product for an agricultural field, comprising the steps: providing a target application rate map (10) comprising an application rate distribution of the agricultural product of the agricultural field, wherein the application rate distribution comprises different target areas with predetermined 5 application rates of the agricultural product (S100); providing a route (34, 52) of an agricultural vehicle and/or an application device of the agricultural vehicle through the agricultural field for applying the agricultural product (S200); providing a working width (37, 52) of the agricultural vehicle and/or the application device of the agricultural vehicle; determining application rates of the agricultural vehicle and/or the application device of the agricultural vehicle at least based on 10 the route (34, 52) of the agricultural vehicle and/or the application device of the agricultural vehicle through the agricultural field (S30
