Field Maps
automatically severed at that line. If the entire polygon is moved outside the
boundary, it will automatically be deleted.
Polygons are placed inside the field boundary approximating the size and
shape of different rates. These polygons can be drawn using the drawing tools,
or they can be actual shapes copied from a soil type contour map. If you have
polygons next to each other with the same rate, they will not merge.
If you have areas of the field (waterways) where you will not apply product or
plant seeds, a rate of zero can be assigned.
When you draw (or copy) a polygon on the plan, JDOffice will place it in front of
all the other polygons on the field map. Each placed polygon represents
another layer within the application plan. Use the Select tool to position the
polygon. You can control the layer order (overlap) by moving polygons in front
of, or behind others with the Layer tools. What you see on the screen is what
the plan will be - any part of a polygon hidden by another one does not exist to
JDOffice - it is “knocked out.”
A master legend is automatically created, and all application plans will use this
legend. Each time a new rate is added to a plan, JDOffice will assign a unique
legend color to it; the master legend will expand to include the new rate. These
legends cannot be deleted, and you cannot add additional ones without adding
a new rate to your plan. These colors are the only element that can be altered.
If you edit a color in the application plan legend (this is done on the Legend
Setup tab), the change will impact all application plans in JDOffice.
When you move any tool over a shape on the application plan map, the rate
assigned to that shape will be displayed in the message line at the bottom left
corner of JDOffice (the application plan layer must be highlighted in the Layers
chooser).
Application plans support histograms and field notes; they will appear on your
printed field map according to the choices you made on the Printer
Preferences tab. However, unlike other maps in JDOffice, a field boundary will
not print with an application map if you choose to print it as outlined.
If you create a seeding application plan in a unit of measure other than the
native unit of the implement, you will need to enter the conversion factors on
the Variety Setup tab prior to creating the plan. JDOffice will then use these
factors to convert between the measurements. You can now prescribe using
the most comfortable unit of measure regardless of your implement’s
capabilities.
When you have finished creating the application plan, refer to the Seeding Plan
Summary report to determine the number of bags of seed you will need to buy.
These calculations are separated per variety, and are based on the number of
Seeds per bag and Weight per bag values that were entered on the Variety
Setup tab.
