1. A method comprising:
receiving information specifying (1) a plurality of plant groups to be identified by a plant identification model and (2) treatments to be applied to plants in plant groups of the plurality of plant groups;
accessing the plant identification model, the plant identification model being a trained model, wherein the received information is received after the plant identification model was trained;
accessing an image comprising a plant;
applying the plant identification model to the image comprising the plant, the plant identification model configured to:
determine that the plant is in a plant group of the plurality of plant groups described in the received information; and
determine a representative location of the plant in the image;
generating a plant treatment instruction for treating the plant with a plant treatment mechanism based on the received information describing a treatment to be applied to plants in the determined plant group and the representative location; and
actuating the plant treatment mechanism using the plant treatment instruction to treat the plant.
