METHOD FOR ESTIMATING FEED QUALITY OF ALFALFA AS IT IS CUT

摘要

A method implemented in an agricultural machine (10) harvesting alfalfa plants, the method (68) comprising: receiving, in real time, input corresponding to a plurality of sensed parameters corresponding to alfalfa plant height and cut alfalfa volume (70); associating the cut alfalfa volume to an alfalfa stem diameter (72); and automatically determining a feed quality value for the alfalfa plants based on the sensed alfalfa plant height and the alfalfa stem diameter (74).
