Sisitemu ya John Deere yitwa See and Spray yagabanyije ikoreshwa ry'imiti yica udukoko mo kabiri.

Abahinzi barimo gukoresha vuba uburyo bwo gukoresha kamera nezaikoranabuhanga ryo gutera imiti, kandi ikoranabuhanga rya John Deere rya See & Spray ryiteguye undi mwaka w’iterambere ryihuse muri 2025. Josh Rudd yasobanuriye Maisie Carter wo muri Oklahoma Farm Report ko ubu buryo bumaze gukoreshwa cyane muri Amerika ya Ruguru, aho "imashini zirenga 1.000 za See & Spray zikora," ziganjemo "hegitari zirenga miliyoni 5," yavuze ko "ziruta leta ya New Jersey." Nubwo imvura nyinshi yo mu mpeshyi yatumye ibyatsi bibi byiyongera, Rudd yavuze ko abahinzi bagikomeza kuzigama "hafi 50%" ku ikoreshwa ry’imiti yica udukoko - bingana no "kuzigama litiro miliyoni 30 z’imiti yica udukoko muri uyu mwaka."

Rad yashimangiye ko kuzigama amafaranga ari kimwe mu bigize agaciro kayo. Yavuze ko abahinzi benshi batekereza ku gihe kiri imbere bakoresha See & Spray kugira ngo bagabanye ikiguzi cy’inyongeramusaruro, “bongera gushora ayo mafaranga mu mishinga yo kunoza uburyo bwo kurwanya ibyatsi bibi cyangwa kunoza uburyo bwo kubika imbuto.” Yongeyeho ko ikintu gitangaje kurushaho ari ukwiyongera gukomeye k’umusaruro kugerwaho hifashishijwe iri koranabuhanga: “Dukomeje kubona… kwiyongera kwa bushel 2 kuri hegitari, aho umusaruro wa soya wiyongeraho bushel 4.8 kuri hegitari.” Yasobanuye ko kugabanya ikoreshwa ry’ibimera bitari ngombwa mu bihingwa “bimaze gutanga umusaruro ufatika kandi mu buryo nyabwo muri uyu mwaka.”
Iri koranabuhanga rizarushaho kunozwa mu 2025 binyuze mu kuvugurura porogaramu ku buntu hagamijwe kongera umuvuduko, kwagura uburinganire bw'ibihingwa, no kunoza imikorere. Rad yagaragaje impinduka eshatu: uburebure bw'igipimo cyo hejuru cyo "gutera imbuto ku bimera"; umuvuduko wo hejuru wo gukora, "kuva kuri 12 mph kugeza kuri 15 mph"; n'intera ntoya y'umurongo, ubu ikaba iha "intera y'umurongo ya santimetero 20" ku bigori. Yavuze ko aya mavugurura akomeje kugaragaza ko See & Spray "izakomeza gutera imbere uko igihe kigenda gihita ... uko umwaka utashye, inongera ubushobozi bwayo."
Mu kureba imbere, uruhare rw'abahinzi ruracyari ingenzi mu iterambere rya sisitemu zo “gutera imiti mu isuzuma” z'iki gihe. Rad avuga ko kuri buri gitaramo gikomeye cy'ubuhinzi, agaragaza “ibintu bishya 10-15 tugomba kwibandaho.” Abahinzi bifuza ko sisitemu yaguka kugira ngo ikwirakwizwe ku bihingwa nka ingano, canola, flax, sayiri, ubunyobwa, beterave, n'ibirayi, kandi kamera zigatanga ibirenze ibyo gupima ibyatsi bibi gusa. “Barashaka amakuru menshi ku buzima rusange bw'umusaruro… urugero, ibyago byo kwangiza ibidukikije, indwara zishobora kubaho, cyangwa indwara z'ibihumyo,” ashimangira, avuga ko gutanga amakuru y'ingirakamaro mu bihe by'ihinga ari ingenzi mu iterambere.
Rad yanavuze ku bitekerezo bidasanzwe bikunze kugaragara ku ikoranabuhanga ryo gutera imiti hakoreshejwe kamera. Yavuze ko bamwe mu bahinzi bacyizera imvugo igira iti “ishusho ifite agaciro k’amagambo igihumbi,” cyane cyane nyuma yo kumenya ko sisitemu ikora kuri 15 mph ishobora kubona “ibyatsi bibi bito nka 15 santimetero.” Yasabye kwitabira iminsi yo guhinga no kwirebera. Ku bahinzi batekereza kuri iri koranabuhanga, Rad yatanze inama z'ingenzi: “Niba ushishikajwe no ‘gutera imiti mu maso,’ ugomba gutegura mbere y’igihe.” Yashimangiye ko abahinzi bagomba gushyira iri koranabuhanga mu biganiro byabo byo gucunga ubuhinzi bw’itumba kugira ngo bumve ko “izi nyungu zizahindura umusaruro dukoresha gusa… ahubwo n’ingano dukoresha,” bityo bikongera inyungu zabo ku ishoramari mu gihembwe gitaha.
