  • Patent number: 11089745
    Abstract: There is provided a method of planning irrigation, comprising: performing for a certain interval of time: computing a value of a crop evapotranspiration parameter indicative of an amount of water consumed by a reference crop, computing a value of a potential evapotranspiration parameter indicative of weather conditions associated with the field of the reference crop, computing a value of a dynamic crop coefficient for the reference crop based on the crop evapotranspiration parameter and the potential evapotranspiration parameter, and providing the dynamic crop coefficient computed for the certain time interval of time of the reference crop that corresponds to a target time interval of a target growing season of the target crop, wherein the target crop is growing in a target field which is geographically distinct from the reference field, and outputting instructions for irrigation of the target crop according to an irrigation plan based on the dynamic crop coefficient.

  • Publication number: 20210136996
    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising: computing state parameter(s) indicative of a state of a target crop at the target field based on output of crop physiological sensor(s), and classifying by a classifier(s), the state parameter(s) and the agricultural practice(s) into instructions for administration of the agricultural practice(s) to the target field, wherein yield and/or quality of the target crop at a future target event is predicted to be increased when the instructions are implemented relative to the yield and/or quality of the target crop that is predicted at the future target event when an alternative administration of the agricultural practice(s) is implemented, wherein the classifier(s) computes the instructions based on previously obtained instructions associated with respective reference fields associated with respective state parameter(s), and yield and/or quality of respective reference crops at respective reference fields at historical reference events corresponding to the future target event

  • Publication number: 20040088916
    Abstract: A system for remote monitoring of plants is provided. The system includes (a) at least one sensor positioned on, or in proximity to, a plant, the at least one sensor being for collecting data pertaining to at least one plant related parameter; (b) at least one user client being for receiving and optionally processing the data from the at least one sensor to thereby determine a state of the plant; and (c) a communication network being for communicating the data from the at least one sensor to the at least one user client.
