More Information
Summary:A path planning module or electronic data processor is configured to establish a path plan for a planter to cover a first area of the field at least once with a sequence of path segments that are generally parallel to each other and spaced apart. A path interference estimator or the electronic data processor is configured to estimate potential interference between two or more path segments with respect to a first path segment and a second path segment. An exclusion zone module or the electronic data processor is configured to determine an exclusion zone for the planter to prohibit planting of one or more rows of seeds or seedlings within the exclusion zone based on the estimated potential interference. The electronic data processor is configured to activate or execute the path plan and determined exclusion zone in accordance with the established path plan and determined exclusion zone.
