Abstract

See full text

An agricultural machine includes a seeding system having a seed transport mechanism configured to transport a seed along a transport route. A terahertz-based seed sensor is configured to direct terahertz electromagnetic radiation toward the seed at a sensing location along the transport route and detect terahertz electromagnetic radiation after the terahertz electromagnetic radiation interacts with the seed to provide terahertz data. An actuator is configured to selectively move the seed. A processing system is configured to receive the terahertz data and classify the seed as qualified or non-qualified and to selectively engage the actuator based on whether the seed is classified as qualified or non-qualified.
