RESIDUE MONITORING AND RESIDUE-BASED CONTROL

摘要

An agricultural machine includes a set of ground engaging elements thatperform a groundengaging operation. The agricultural machine includes a rearward sensormounted to theagricultural machine to sense an area of ground behind the agriculturalmachine and generatea rearward sensor signal. The agricultural machine includes rearward zonegenerator logic thatdetermines a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone and thesecond zone representportions of the area of ground behind the agricultural machine. Theagricultural machineincludes rearward residue generator logic configured to receive the rearwardsensor signal anddetermine a first residue metric indicative of the amount of residue in thefirst zone. Theagricultural machine includes control logic that controls one or more aspectsof the groundengaging operation on the area of ground based on the first residue metric
