Implements List
Here's a concise list of the implements mentioned for the hands-free hectare model using an autonomous robotic platform for cotton cultivation:
Autonomous Cotton Harvester Module
For picking matured cotton bolls.
Soil Analysis Module/Detachable Sensors
For extracting and analyzing soil samples.
Automated Spreader Module
For dispensing soil amendments and fertilizers.
Autonomous Tilling Module
For plowing and preparing the land.
Autonomous Leveling Implement
For leveling the field uniformly.
Autonomous Rotavator or Power Tiller Module
For seedbed preparation to achieve fine tilth.
Precision Seed Drill Module
For sowing seeds at desired depth and spacing.
Autonomous Irrigation Module
For irrigating the field based on specific needs.
Camera and Sensor-equipped Drones
For pest monitoring and field scouting.
Precision Spreader or Sprayer Module
For applying fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides.
Autonomous Mechanical Weeding Module
For detecting and removing weeds.
Autonomous Chopper or Shredder Module
For managing cotton stalks post-harvest.
Soil Sensors or Drones with Ground-penetrating Radars
For assessing soil health and preparation for the next planting cycle.
This list represents the robotic implements necessary for a hands-free, technology-driven approach to cotton cultivation.
