SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION OF MATERIALS THROUGH COORDINATION WITH AUTOMATED DATA COLLECTION VEHICLES

An agricultural material application management system includes an automated agricultural data collection vehicle including a location sensor. The automated agricultural data collection vehicle includes a receiver that receives sensor data including crop information, a memory that stores the plurality of locations and the sensor data, and a processor that generates a mapping correlating the crop information with the plurality of locations in the agricultural area, and generates an agricultural material application recommendation for each of the plurality of locations based on the mapping. The agricultural material application management system includes an agricultural vehicle including an interface unit that interfaces with the automated agricultural data collection vehicle and receives the agricultural material application recommendations from the agricultural data collection vehicle. An agricultural material applicator applies an agricultural material to at least some of the plurality of locations, and a display provides the recommendations to a driver of the agricultural vehicle.
