Field trials layer type

This guide explains how to access, display, and adjust the Field Trials layer in the CultiWise application.

Field trials are controlled experiments conducted on agricultural land to test the performance of different crop varieties, fertilizers, pesticides, or farming techniques under real growing conditions. 

They help farmers and researchers assess yield potential, disease resistance, and the effectiveness of different agricultural practices.

The Field Trials layer is a specialized format used to visualize various types of agricultural analyses processed within CultiWise.

If a Field Trials layer is available for a field, it will appear in the field’s menu (illustrated below).

To display the layer, click the round button next to its name. To access additional visualization settings, click the arrow icon next to the layer name.
