Perhaps I’m using operations differently from how it was envisioned. I like to pre-generate an operation for all our farms, generate a report for the operation, then print the page 2 of every report so I have a little book of all the farms we need to get sprayed in the spring with pre-emergent. The problem is, we’re tank mixing two chemicals on one highlighted area for the operation. Also, of those two chemcials, one is dry (pounds) and the other is liquid (gallons).
When I add a second chemical, its only letting me change the color of existing zones. How do I set up prescriptions to contain two chemicals, 1 dry, and 1 liquid, tank mixed, for the same annotation? What am I missing?
Hi, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, it is not possible to have two different product rates, yet-
What machinery is this? Do you know the structure that the machine reads? You could quickly add a new column in QGIS for now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SLGh6UW7vo
Understood. I’m using this to make a spray plan for the spring, printing page 2 of the report I generate from the operation I’ve created. I seem to be using pix4d fields in a very round about way all the time. Primarily, I use it to stitch together orthos of our farm for another software. But it’s very expensive for that use case and the amount of times I need (or don’t need) to do that a year.
If I want to make a spray plan I create a new operation and label it 2026 Spring Pre-Emergent for whatever farm. I have to put the name of the farm in the operation because page 2 of the PDF report doesn’t list the farm name and page 1 is useless to me (along with the remainder of them). I can then quickly figure out for the guys how many gallons of each product needs to go to a field.
Being able to set a per 100 gallon rate, product volume and size (2.5 gallon jugs), sprayer tank size, would all be a VERY welcomed and useful addition to the platform. For example, a rate of 2.5 gallons per 1000 gallons, spraying 1400 total gallons of water on 35 acres with a spray rate on your machine of 40 GPA airblast and having reports actually calculate what exactly is required (rounding up with the jugs) and also giving you exactly what you need to mix with each load is the essential information end users actually need if they aren’t loading it into a tractor for variable rate applications.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Could you share a visual example of what you need?
It feels like you need more of a way to annotate on the PDF.
