With the Zoning app you can divide a data layer of your field into zones and determine per zone what needs to be done. Use satellite images, height maps, or import your own data to repository of data on FarmMaps. Files can be uploaded as a CSV, geojson, shape (zip) or tiff file. This data can be used in the VRA Calculator app. Where necessary, the data is interpolated to create a plot-covering map layer.

Chose the number of zones and the distribution yourself. You can distribute the zones using different techniques, like equal interval and equal count. 

You can still edit the zone limits later or assign a value or a rate to each zone. This can be a zone number, or an amount of fertilizer. Based on this data, the Zoning app creates an application map and converts it into a machine-ready task map. 

In the Zoning-app, you choose:

  • The data layer on which you want to base the zoning
  • The number and distribution of zones
  • The value or rate per zone

After going through these steps, the application map with zones will appear. The map is then converted into a task map that is tailored to the dimensions and properties of your machine.

You can download this task map as a Shapefile or an ISO-XML file, and place it in the terminal that steers the machine. If you also use the Agrirouter app you can send the file inmediately to the machine and receive as-applied maps back.
