Abstract: A method for detecting at least one plant planted on a field, including: detecting a plant with an optical and/or infrared detection unit to obtain a piece of plant image information and detecting a piece of position information, which represents a geographic position, at which the plant grows in the field. Furthermore, the method includes identifying the plant using the piece of plant image information, to obtain a piece of plant information, which represents the presence of the plant. Finally, the method includes storing the piece of plant information and the geographic position in a plant dataset, to detect the plant planted on the field.
