How can I adjust my nitrogen recommendation on the Crop Zone Monitoring tab?
Overview:
After you create a variable rate nitrogen recommendation, you might want to adjust the recommendation because of factors such as changes in the field, weather, or equipment applicators. With the map in the NREC view, use the options in the left panel to adjust the recommended nitrogen. For irrigated crop zones, the adjustments are applied only to the irrigated portion of the field.
Note: Changes made to the nitrogen recommendation on the Crop Zone Monitoring tab are automatically included in exported nitrogen recommendations. You do not need to click Run RX again to include these changes.
Note: Changes to the nitrogen recommendation on this page are saved to a layer in Field360 Studio when you export the prescription.
Requirements:
- Corn crop zone enrolled at the Premium level
- Existing variable-rate nitrogen recommendation (Run RX)
