Abstract

A method and system for autonomously varying fertilization levels within a field, the field being divided into a plurality of segments, using an autonomous pivot, may include: applying an amount of fertilizer using a fertilizer applicator to each segment; capturing images of each segment in at least two different spectral ranges after a time period; calculating a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value for each segment of the field based on the captured images; and varying the amount of fertilizer applied to each segment after the time period, wherein the amount of fertilizer is varied based on re-captured images and re-calculated NDVI values for each segments after the time period.
