  • System and Method for Prediction of Plant Success Using Localized Plant Environment Data
    Publication number: 20200402120
    Abstract: A system and method that help to increase the likelihood of success in cultivating home gardens is described herein. The method includes the steps of receiving a customer's location data and a desired planting date, and accessing weather data for the customer's location and plant life cycle according to the desired planting date. For each plant in a plant collection, a computer server computes a success score for each growth phase in the life cycle of the plant, computes a total success score equal to a sum of success scores for all the growth phases, and ranks all plants in the plant collection according to the total success score. A recommendation of at least one high-ranking plant from the plant collection is then made to the customer.
