How do I create a prescription and see the results in JDOffice?
Note: Within JDOffice, an application plan is a map that designates which
products will be applied at what rate, to which areas of the field. An application
plan becomes a prescription when it is saved in a format that the GreenStar
mobile processor can read. Application plans can be edited; prescriptions
cannot without first making a copy of itself to preserve the original version.
Application plans can be created for seeding or for a product application, which includes
fertilizers, pesticides, and tank mixes. Before you can begin designing an application plan
for your field(s), you first need to enter the data in the Setup section. This data includes not
only the farm and field names, but the specifics about each product you will be putting in
or on the field.
• If you are creating a seeding application plan, it is important that you enter the
conversion rates and the Entry Method for each variety that will be used in an
application plan. The Variety Setup section on page 54 has detailed information
on defining varieties. For information on the conversion rates, refer to “Seeding” on
page 56, and “Entry Method for Application Plans” on page 56.
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.
• If you are creating a product application plan, it is required in Setup that you
enter all of the components of a tank mix, and the solution rate. You will also need
to enter a carrier.
Once all of the Setup items are completely defined, you are ready to begin creating the
application plan. You can make more than one application plan per field, but only one
prescription can be made per plan.
The shape of the application plan is dependent on the field; therefore, you must have a
field boundary in the same processing year (or prior) as that set when creating an
application plan. If you do not have a field boundary, one will need to be created. Refer to
“Create Field Boundaries” on page 195 for specific instructions for doing so.
After creating the field boundary, click the Layers button (Field Map view). In the Layers
chooser, click Add. Select New Application Plan and click OK. The field boundary will
automatically be added to the Layers chooser when you select to add a new application
plan. If New Application Plan is not listed as an option at the bottom, it means you do not
yet have a field boundary that meets the criteria for creating a plan.
