Zusammenfassung:	Described herein are implements and applicators having sensors to determine plant characteristics of agricultural plants of agricultural fields. In one embodiment, an implement includes a frame to be positioned in operation between first and second rows of plants, a plant contacting member being pivotally coupled to the frame in operation such that the plant contacting member to be deflected rearwardly with respect to a direction of motion of the frame upon the plant contacting member contacting a plant of the first row of plants. The implement includes a sensor for sensing deflection of the plant contacting member by the plant to determine plant characteristics of the plant. The implement can also apply material to plants.
