We are conducting a decision analysis on optimizing pesticide application in orchards with an lidar sensor and an automated section controlled sprayer. The aim is to identify possible uncertainties in the decision process of a farmer to adopt such an expensive technology and create a template that may help either the manufacture to adjust there product to their customers wishes or the farmer himself.
Take a look at our full report of the decision. Please consider downloading the HTML file of our report and open it locally for the full user experience.We have also established a flow chart to visualize the dynamics of the decision and get a better understanding of our coded model.
For a better visualization of the automated section controlled sprayer in question we have two concept graphics:
The final compound figure shows a summary of the results of our decision analysis.
