Abstract

Plant treatment systems and methods are presented. The system comprising a plant treatment apparatus comprising: one or more treatment channels and at least one plant treatment device associated with said one or more treatment channels, said at least one plant treatment device being configured and operable to controllably generate a force field and apply the force field to at least a portion of a plant, said force field comprising at least one pulse, wherein each pulse has a fast rise time, certain duration and amplitude profile, thereby inducing a vibration pattern in the at least portion of the plant, said vibration pattern being characterized by a plurality of vibration frequencies above a predetermined value, to thereby apply treatment to said at least portion of the plant; a sensing system comprising one or more sensors configured and operable to provide sensing signals indicative of a condition of said at least portion of the plant and feedback signals indicative of said vibration pattern, said one or more sensors comprising an optical sensor configured and operable to provide the sensing signals and/or feedback signals indicative of image data of said at least portion of the plant. A control system is configured and operable for data communication with said plant treatment apparatus, to receive and process the sensing signals and/or feedback signals produced by the sensing system, the processing of the sensing signals and/or feedback signals comprising determining the condition of said at least portion of the plant and/or said vibration pattern and operating said at least one plant treatment device to apply and/or adjust said force field to thereby induce the vibration pattern corresponding to the treatment of said at least portion of the plant.
