5. Place the mouse cursor in the first box, left click, and type in the Lots/Batches

Seeding
The Seeding screen contains additional information
about the selected variety, as well as conversion factors
which are required for map-based seeding customers
and to make profitability plans. (If you are not creating
application plans, skip the top section of this screen.)
Although they are not required, you can enter the
variety’s Seed size, Bulk unit description, Seed
origin and the Date tested for additional record
keeping purposes.
The Seeds per unit (Prescription written in seeds per acre) and Weight per unit
(Prescription written in pounds per acre) factors work as calculators to help you determine
the number of bags of seed per variety you will need to buy - according to the data you
entered in your application plans. The total weight and number of needed bags or
containers (rounded up) will be listed in the Seeding Plan Summary Report (page 259).
Note: Weight per 1000 seeds is commonly used in Europe.
Entry Method for Application Plans
If a seeding prescription is made in a unit of measure other than that which is the native
unit of the implement, you will need to enter the conversion factors on the Seeding screen
(see above) prior to writing the prescription. JDOffice will then use these factors to “bridge
the gap” between the measurements. You can now prescribe using the most comfortable
unit of measure regardless of your implement’s capabilities.
For example, if your planter can only plant in seeds per acre, this screen will allow you to
create the application plan as pounds per acres; JDOffice will then convert the values for
use on the machinery.
