1. A system comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes performing:
using a spatial statistical model and first yield data for a first portion of an agronomic field comprising a first treatment, computing a yield value for a second portion of the agronomic field comprising a second treatment, the yield value indicating an agronomic yield for the second portion of the agronomic field if the second portion of the agronomic field had received the first treatment instead of the second treatment;
based on the computed yield value and second yield data for the second portion of the agronomic field, selecting the second treatment; and
generating one or more scripts which, when executed by an application controller, cause the application controller to control an operating parameter of an agricultural implement to apply the second treatment.
