Soil Type to Rate Table
Before creating your application plans (using the option to copy soil type
shapes to the plan), use the Soil Type to Rate Table as a time-saving shortcut.
Because different types of soil tend to produce crops at different rates, you can
define the product application (pesticide, fertilizer or tank mix) or seeding rate
for each soil type per the crop or product type. When the polygons are copied
from the soil type map to the application plan, the rates will already be defined
per soil type (the rate can be changed on the plan - per polygon).
If you type in a default rate and click Apply, that same rate will populate all the
boxes for the selected crop, variety (product), and unit of measure parameters;
overrides can then be made to individual soil types.
Each time soil maps are imported into JDOffice, the soil types are added to the
Soil Type to Rate Table and will be assigned any default rates already set. This
is a master table and it will expand each time new types are imported. The
legend color next to each soil type is automatically assigned by JDOffice (it can
be changed on the Legend Setup tab).
The table can be printed for the active parameters (operation type, product
type and default rate) per unit of measure, or for all units of measure that have
been defined.
All soil type maps can be printed in the ESRI Shape format. Refer to “ESRI
Shape File .JDA Export Format” on page 316 for more information.
