Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for operating a treatment device applying a treatment product to an agricultural area, the method comprising: obtaining (S210) at least one dataset relating to an area of interest within the agricultural area (110) to a control system (12.10); determining (S220), by the control system (12.10), from the at least one dataset a vegetative indicator relating to real-time conditions on the agricultural area (110), wherein a basic threshold for triggering application of the treatment product is dynamically adjustable in relation to the vegetative indicator; and providing (S230) a control signal, by the control system (12.10), to control the treatment device (120) based on the determined vegetative indicator and the threshold for triggering application of the treatment product.
