Method for treating plants with respect to estimated root zones

This invention describes a method for precisely feeding plants. It calculates how mature a plant is based on when it was planted, the current date, and its crop type, often using temperature data to estimate growth. This maturity estimate then determines the size of the plant's root system, guiding a specialized tool called a nutrient knife to deliver fertilizer in a specific pattern, like a strip or arc, just outside the estimated root zone.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread integration of advanced machine learning models for plant growth estimation and highly precise GPS-guided agricultural machinery. These advancements now enable more accurate root zone prediction and targeted nutrient application.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, automated nutrient knife positioning.
