Protect the water next to your fields

Mark the sides to protect; Agronix reads the product label and calculates the untreated buffer with your machine's drift-reduction measures.

Every label asks for a distance from watercourses and uncultivated land, which can be reduced with nozzles and drift-reducing devices. Agronix brings together label, machine and field boundary: the buffer is drawn on the map, the prescription leaves it at zero rate and the register reports it in the treatment record.

Sides to protect

On the map, side by side

On the field boundary you mark the sides bordering a water body or uncultivated land, with hedges and vegetated strips where present. The sides stay saved in the field page.

  • Water bodies and uncultivated land
  • Hedges and vegetated strips
  • Saved in the field

Label and drift

The right width for product and machine

The label is read from the Italian Ministry of Health database and its sentence always stays on screen. The width accounts for the drift reduction of nozzles, boom or air-blast sprayer, hedge, hail net and adjuvant, with the Ministry's rules on mitigation measures; when the sentence is unclear, the technician enters the width.

  • Label from the Ministry database
  • Machine drift-reduction measures
  • Warning when the label forbids aerial application and the machine is a drone

Prescription and register

Zero rate in the buffer, written in the register

The buffer is drawn on the map with the untreated hectares. In a plant protection prescription the cells near the buffer go to zero rate, also in the files for spraying drones and terminals; buffer and measures go into the register record, the CSV and the PDFs.

  • Untreated hectares
  • Zero rate in the machine files
  • Buffer and measures in the register

Tank

Fill the tank in the right order

For a mix, Agronix lists the products in the order to add them, first following the label and then by formulation type, calculates the quantities per tank, shows the label sentences on mixtures and reminds you of the jar test. Finally it prepares a register draft for each product.

  • Order of the products
  • Quantities per tank
  • Register draft per product
