  • Publication number: 20230177622
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a set of target seeds with optimal yield and risk performance. One example computer-implemented method includes generating, by a server, representative yield values for a group of seeds based on historical agricultural data, generating a dataset of risk values for the seeds, and generating a dataset of target seeds from the seeds for planting in one or more target fields based on: the dataset of risk values, the representative yield values, and properties for the target field(s). The method also includes generating, by the server, allocation instructions for the target seeds included in the dataset of target seeds, where the allocation instructions are indicative of, for each target seed, a planting quantity for the target seed and a planting location for the target seed within the target field(s).

  • Patent number: 11562444
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating a set of target hybrid seeds with optimal yield and risk performance, including a server receiving a candidate set of hybrid seeds along with probability of successful yield values, associated historical agricultural data and property information, and selecting a subset of the hybrid seeds that have probability of success values greater than a filtering threshold. The server generates representative yield values for hybrid seeds based on the historical agricultural data and risk values for each hybrid seed. The server generates a dataset of target hybrid seeds for planting based on the risk values, the yield values, and the properties for the target fields. The dataset of target hybrid seeds includes target hybrid seeds that meet a specific threshold for a range of risk values. The server causes display of the dataset of target hybrid seeds including yield values and risk values for the target fields.

  • Publication number: 20210342719
    Abstract: Embodiments generate digital plans for agricultural fields. In an embodiment, a model receives digital inputs including stress risk data, product maturity data, field location data, planting date data, and/or harvest date data. The model mathematically correlates sets of digital inputs with threshold data associated with the stress risk data. The model is used to generate stress risk prediction data for a set of product maturity and field location combinations. In a digital plan, product maturity data or planting date data or harvest date data or field location data can be adjusted based on the stress risk prediction data. A digital plan can be transmitted to a field manager computing device. An agricultural apparatus can be moved in response to a digital plan.
