Creating variable rate prescription map for Fertilizing based on Productivity zones

Note: Prescription maps are created using data from the past 6-8 years. Long-term trends are reflected.

A pop-up window will appear where you can enter the required information. You can request a seeding prescription map for multiple fields at once.

• Select the fields within a specific farm. You can choose multiple fields from the same farm.

Select no. of zones

Choose the number of zones for classification:

• 3 zones: Classification based on yield potential values, divided into three categories: <95, 95–105, >105.

• 5 zones: Classification into zones with intervals of 5. More than five zones may be present depending on field variability and yield potential.

Select machine type

• Specify the type of machine that will be used for application.

Notes

• Provide additional details in the Notes field, including:

• Crop type
• Hybrid
• Standard seeding rate
• Any additional requirements or considerations

Warning:

• Prescription maps are most effective for fields larger than 5 hectares. For smaller fields, the data may not be reliable.
• If high-resolution data is required for smaller fields, consider using Planet data (a paid feature) for better accuracy.

Once processing is complete, the prescription map will be available in the field view on the left panel.

Visibility

• Toggle the visibility of uploaded yield potential maps by clicking the circular icon next to the layer name.

• Selecting or deselecting this icon enables or disables the display of the corresponding map.

Layer details

• Click the arrow icon next to the layer name to view a detailed information containing table with zone classifications and dose rates.

• Rename a layer by clicking on its name and entering a new one.
• Click the pencil icon next to the layer name to open the Edit Layer window, where you can modify dose rates for specific zones.

Delete layer

• If needed, you can delete a layer by clicking the delete icon.

Order of layers

• Reorder layers using the three-line (hamburger) icon next to each layer. Drag and drop to adjust the layer's position and visibility priority.

Rate Change

• You can adjust dose rates for each zone manually.
• Click the pencil icon next to the layer name and navigate to the 'Rate Change' section in the Edit Layer window.

Standard Rate

This field is displayed at the top of the section, showing the default rate used for broadcast application in kg/ha.

• Here, you can enter the dose rate you typically use for broadcast application. This value serves as a reference for calculating savings.
  

Table with dose rates

For each zone table display:

• Yield Potential [%] for the zone
• Rate [kg/ha] set for the zone
• Area [ha] of zone
• Volume [kg] of used product

You can manually adjust the Rate [kg/ha] for each zone by modifying the corresponding values in the input fields.

• Custom rates automatically update volume savings calculations compared to the Standard Rate.

Monitoring Prescription data and Savings

At the bottom of the section, you can view:

• Total Prescriptions: The overall amount of product applied.
• Volume Savings (%): Showing the potential reduction in input usage compared to the standard rate.

Saving Changes

• After making adjustments, click the 'SAVE' button to apply changes.

Once the prescription map has been created, it can be exported for use with compatible machinery and software.

• To export the prescription map, click 'EXPORT AS .SHP' below the map legend.
• This will generate a shapefile compatible with agricultural machinery and software.
