METHOD OF OPTIMISING CULTIVATION/PROCESSING AGRICULTURAL FIELDS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A01B39/18 A01B39/06 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method is realised using tools with working elements which can cut through and process soil, made with provision for regulating their mode of operation and/or the intensity of their operation in accordance with the characteristic of the place populated by plants and/or weeds, using adjustment elements provided with an engine. The adjustment values for the adjustment elements are determined in accordance with population of plants and/or weeds by probing the surface of the field with sensors. Data from the sensors is transmitted to an on-board computer and analysed using analysis software, stored on a data carrier. Based on the calculated adjustment values, the position of soil processing working elements is adjusted using adjustment apparatus.

EFFECT: provision for efficient soil processing with minimum power consumption.
