Chapter 4 – CropSpec Operation
Once the CropSpec sensors are configured and sensor readings appear
in the Universal Terminal, CropSpec data can be collected by driving
through the field.
Do not look directly into the sensors. Lasers may cause
permanent eye damage.
CropSpec can be used to:
l Record readings
l Apply product using prescriptions
Note: To use prescriptions to vary the product application rate,
Variable Rate Control (VRC) must be enabled on the console.
X25 consoles must be upgraded to ‘Advanced’ to enable VRC.
4.1. Recording CropSpec readings
CropSpec readings represent crop health data. You can export the
CropSpec data for analysis or use it in setting up prescription types.
Crop health data can be used to determine minimum or maximum
application rates for a particular crop at a specific time of its growth.
Note: It takes approximately 5-10 minutes for the CropSpec sensors
to warm up to their operating temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
Once the sensors warm up, biomass values from the crop canopy will
populate the Left reading and Right reading.
Follow these steps to record CropSpec readings for your field:
1.
