Method and system for preventing herbicide application to non-tolerant crops

摘要

A method controlling an agricultural sprayer includes identifying an herbicide to be sprayed using the agricultural sprayer, determining a geoposition associated with the agricultural sprayer within a field, determining if crop planted at the geoposition is tolerant to the herbicide using as-planted data, and if the crop is not tolerant of the herbicide, preventing herbicide spraying operations while the agricultural sprayer is at the geoposition. An agricultural sprayer adapted for performing the method is also provided.

1. A method comprising:
determining a geoposition of a crop associated with an agricultural sprayer within a field; receiving herbicide resistance data associated with the crop at the determined geoposition associated with the agricultural sprayer; determining, via sprayer control hardware, if the crop planted at the geoposition associated with the agricultural sprayer is tolerant of a herbicide using as-planted data and the received herbicide resistance data associated with the crop; spraying, by an agricultural sprayer, the herbicide onto the crop planted at the geoposition if it is determined that the crop is tolerant of the herbicide; preventing spraying of the herbicide while the agricultural sprayer is at the geoposition if it is determined that the crop is not tolerant of the herbicide; and generating a spray map.
