Fertility Zones
This feature allows users to create Fertility and Seeding Zones from Management Zones that lets users easily assign equations and equation variables to Zone Columns within the Management Zones. Multiple Fertility Zones may be created per field, however, only one Fertility Zone and one Seeding Zone will be active for use in the Fertility tab. The active Fertility Zone will be the most recently updated zone for the field.
Creating a Fertility Zone
To access the new tool, navigate the profile tree to a desired management zone.
Click on Create/Update Fertility Zones, in the tool bar to the right of the map.
The Fertility Zones window will display each of the columns that are associated with the Management Zones. Users must first select between Fertility and Seeding for the Fertility Zone Type. An Equation must then be selected for each column, followed by associating the column with an Equation Variable. Multiple equations may be assigned to each column. To add an addition Equation to a Zone Column, click the green +. If a Zone column does not have an association to an Equation or Equation Variable click the red X to remove the equation.
Once all the necessary Equations have been associated, click Submit to continue.
The Management Zone will now be represented by a special icon within the Profile Tree (shown below). Active Fertility Zones will be denoted with an (A) after the name.
