Prescription maps
Prescription maps are maps that contain information on the quantity of a product (fertilizer, seed, pesticide) to be spread/applied on each area of the field.
MULTI-Control distinguishes between the following types of prescription maps:
- ▪
- Prescription maps in shape format
- –
- Shape prescription maps are transferred from the USB memory device to the terminal. They are saved with the field data in ISOBUS-TC.
- ▪
- Prescription maps in ISO-XML format
- –
- XML prescription maps are managed and added to the tasks in a Farm Management Information System.
Each prescription map contains:
- ▪
- The division of the field into areas with a target rate.
- ▪
- Target rates.
- ▪
- The unit in which the target rates are measured. Example: l/ha, seeds/ha, kg/ha. The units tell the system whether the prescription map was created for liquid or solid products. The units also determine whether an ISOBUS job computer can work with a prescription map. A prescription map can contain one or several products, which can consist of different agents.
