  • Publication number: 20230385957
    Abstract: Systems and methods for use in identifying locations and/or sizes of trials in fields are provided. One example computer-implemented method includes defining a bounding box for a field based on a boundary line of the field and imposing multiple strips to the bounding box, where each strip has a dimension consistent with a desired planting pass for a trial in the field. The method also includes rotating the bounding box, with the strips, to an orientation consistent with a planting direction of the field and cropping the multiple strips consistent with one or more headlands of the field. The method then includes generating multiple candidate trials for the field, based on the multiple strips, calculating metrics for the candidate trials based on areas and shapes of the candidate trials, and selecting and publishing one or more of the candidate trials based on the metric as for implementation in the field.

  • Publication number: 20230380329
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying candidate seeds for a grower. An example computer-implemented method includes identifying multiple seeds for a grower suitable to be selected for planting in a growing space associated with the grower, and accessing data from a data server including seed data representative of each of the multiple seeds. The method also includes identifying candidate seeds from the multiple seeds for the grower, based on a model specific to the grower, wherein the model is trained on historical selections of the candidate seeds by the grower and/or at least one other grower in a region of said grower, independent of historical performance of the candidate seeds in the growing space. The method then includes outputting the identified candidate seeds to the grower and including, based on a selection by the grower, at least one seed from the identified candidate seeds in the growing space.

  • Publication number: 20230385958
    Abstract: Systems and methods for use in identifying a trial in a target field are provided. One example computer-implemented method includes accessing, for a target field, planting data for the target field from a data structure and identifying one or multiple segment(s) of the target field having a feature distinct from a remainder of the field. The method also includes applying a first geometric threshold to the identified segment(s) and, in response to the identified segment(s) satisfying the first geometric threshold: validating a strip including the segment(s), based on a length and width of the strip, and building a trial based on the strip, wherein the trial includes the strip and at least one duplicate strip disposed along a long side of the strip, where the trial is identified as a location of the trial in the target field.
