Abstract: Subsurface Rhizome Detection, Prediction and Selective Disruption System for Precision Weed Management This invention describes an intelligent subsurface agricultural weed-management system configured for detection, classification, predictive mapping, and selective disruption of rhizome- and root-propagated weed networks while preserving crop-root integrity and beneficial subterranean symbiosis. The system acquires underground bioelectrical, impedance, ionic, electrochemical, and environmental-condition data to distinguish crop rhizomes, weed rhizomes, dormant regenerative nodes, and fungal interaction pathways. A predictive propagation engine reconstructs concealed underground spread topology and forecasts future emergence and regrowth probability under irrigation, flood, and seasonal soil-transition conditions. Selective intervention is performed through adaptive pulsed electrical disruption, moisture-triggered biodegradable suppression deployment, and ionic communication interference. The system further incorporates mycorrhizal-preservation logic and soil-memory learning for recurrence prediction and field-specific optimization. The disclosure provides a predictive, minimally invasive, and environmentally adaptive underground weed-management framework for precision agriculture and sustainable crop protection.
