Fuente: Wipo "precision farming" A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a first data set having weed values at a plurality of locations in a field, obtaining a second data set that represents movement characteristic values, generating pre-emergent weed characteristic values for one or more locations based on the first data set and the second data set, and controlling a machine action associated with a pre-emergent weed mitigation operation based on the pre-emergent weed characteristic values.
