Abalimi bayamkela ngokukhawuleza indlela echanekileyo esebenzisa ikhameraiteknoloji yokutshiza, kwaye ubuchwepheshe bukaJohn Deere beSee & Spray bukulungele omnye unyaka wokukhula ngokukhawuleza ngo-2025. UJosh Rudd ucacisele uMaisie Carter we-Oklahoma Farm Report ukuba le nkqubo sele isetyenziswa kakhulu kulo lonke elaseMntla Melika, “kunoomatshini beSee & Spray abangaphezu kwe-1,000 abasebenza,” abagubungela ngaphezulu “kweehektare ezi-5 zezigidi,” awathi “bakhulu kunelizwe laseNew Jersey.” Nangona iimvula ezinkulu zasentwasahlobo ezikhokelele ekwandeni kokhula, uRudd uthe abalimi basagcina “phantse ama-50 ekhulwini” ekusetyenzisweni kwe-herbicide—okulingana “nokonga malunga neelitha ezingama-30 zezigidi zomxube we-herbicide kulo nyaka.”
URad ugxininise ukuba ukonga iindleko yinxalenye nje yexabiso layo. Uthe abalimi abaninzi abacinga kwangaphambili basebenzisa i-See & Spray ukunciphisa iindleko zokufaka, “betyala kwakhona ezo zongelo kwiiprojekthi zokuphucula ulawulo lokhula okanye ukuphuculwa kwebhanki yembewu.” Wongeze ngelithi okumangalisayo ngakumbi kukonyuka okukhulu kwesivuno okufunyenweyo ngolu buchwepheshe: “Siyaqhubeka nokubona… ukonyuka okuqhelekileyo kweebhasheli ezi-2 ngehektare, kunye nesivuno seembotyi zesoya sinyuka nge-4.8 yeebhasheli ngehektare.” Ucacisile ukuba ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwe-herbicide engeyomfuneko kwizityalo “sele kubonelela ngenzuzo yesivuno esilinganiswayo, ngexesha langempela kulo nyaka.”
Le teknoloji iza kuphucuka ngakumbi ngo-2025 ngohlaziyo lwesoftware yasimahla olujolise ekwandiseni isantya, ukwandisa ukuhambelana kwezityalo, kunye nokuphucula ukusebenza. URad ugxininise uphuculo oluthathu: umda ophezulu wokuphakama kwe-boom "yokutshiza ngefoliar"; isantya esiphezulu sokusebenza, "ukusuka kwi-12 mph ukuya kwi-15 mph"; kunye nomgama omncinci womgca, ngoku ovumela "isithuba semigca engama-20-intshi" yombona. Uthe olu hlaziyo luqhubekayo lubonisa ukuba i-See & Spray "iya kuqhubeka iphucuka ngokuhamba kwexesha ... unyaka nonyaka, iphucula amandla ayo."
Xa sijonge phambili, igalelo labalimi lihlala liphambili ekuphuhlisweni kweenkqubo zokutshiza “ngokujonga” zesizukulwana esilandelayo. URad uthi kuyo yonke imiboniso emikhulu yezolimo, uchonga “imiba emitsha eli-10-15 ekufuneka sigxile kuyo.” Abalimi bafuna le nkqubo yandiswe ukuze igubungele izityalo ezifana nengqolowa, i-canola, i-flax, irhasi, amandongomane, iibhithi zeswekile, kunye neetapile, kwaye iikhamera zibonelele okungaphezulu nje kokufunyanwa kokhula. “Bafuna ulwazi oluthe kratya malunga nempilo iyonke yesityalo… umzekelo, umngcipheko wezinambuzane, izifo ezinokubakho, okanye usulelo lwefungus,” ugxininisa, ephawula ukuba ukubonelela ngolwazi oluluncedo lwexesha lonyaka yindawo ephambili yophuhliso.
URad ukwathethe ngeembono eziphosakeleyo ezixhaphakileyo malunga nobuchwepheshe bokutshiza obusebenzisa ikhamera. Uthe abanye abalimi basakholelwa kwisaci esithi “umfanekiso uxabisa amagama aliwaka,” ingakumbi emva kokufunda ukuba inkqubo esebenza ngesantya se-15 mph inokubona “ukhula oluncinci njengekota yesentimitha.” Ucebise ukuba uye kwimihla yasentsimini uze uzibonele ngokwakho. Kubalimi abacinga ngolu buchwepheshe, uRad unike icebiso elibalulekileyo: “Ukuba unomdla ‘wokutshiza ngeliso,’ kufuneka ucwangcise kwangaphambili.” Ugxininise ukuba abalimi kufuneka babandakanye obu buchwepheshe kwiingxoxo zabo zolawulo lwasebusika ukuze baqonde ukuba “ezi ndleko ziya kutshintsha kungekuphela nje iimveliso esizisebenzisayo… kodwa nobungakanani esibusebenzisayo,” ngaloo ndlela benyusa imbuyekezo yabo kutyalo-mali kwixesha elizayo.
