Variable-rate nitrogen prescription

A uniform rate is too much where it is not needed and too little where it would be. A variable-rate prescription puts more product where the field needs it and less elsewhere. In Agronix it is created in six guided steps, checked in the preview and exported for the machine that applies it.

Choosing how the rate varies

Six steps

Create the prescription step by step

Field and survey, type of work, how the rate varies, rates, preview, file for the machine. The rate varies by zone, in proportion to the index, by threshold, on trees or on weeds, and is rounded to the step the machine can apply.

  • By zone, proportional, by threshold, on trees and weeds
  • Fertiliser, seeding, plant protection, spot weeding
  • Job linked to the prescription
Prescription preview

Preview

Check rates and totals before you start

The preview shows the rate map, the average rate, the total product and the saving compared with the uniform rate. For plant protection products the maximum label rate is never exceeded and Agronix asks you to confirm the legal notice, flagging Natura 2000 sites.

  • Totals and comparison with the uniform rate
  • Legal notice before plant protection products
  • PDF sheet of the prescription

Spot weeding

Treat only where needed

In rice paddies the orthomosaic finds patches of weedy rice and weeding is concentrated there; in row crops the weed map follows the same logic. In orchards the product goes only under the canopies.

  • Patches of weedy rice
  • Weed cells plus a margin
  • Only under the tree canopies

Specifications

Modes
By zone, linear on the index, by threshold, on trees, on weeds.
Fertilisers
Product rate calculated from the grade and the nutrient required.
