Chapter 4 – CropSpec Operation
37
l Concentration %: The ratio of the active ingredient in the product
being applied (nitrogen if Nitrogen Content based Mass/Area
selected in output configuration, see page 14).
l Minimum Rate: The minimum nitrogen rate that should be applied
relative to the amount of biomass detected.
l Maximum Rate: The maximum nitrogen rate that should be
applied relative to the amount of biomass detected.
Note: To set the rate based on the desired amount of total product
(as opposed to active ingredient), set the concentration to 100%.
l Fallback Rate: The application rate that the software should default
to if unable to obtain a valid reading from either sensor. This can
happen if no biomass is detected.
l Rate Step: This defines the amount of change of application rate as
the CropSpec value increases or decreases. The values entered for
minimum and maximum rate are rounded up or down to the nearest
multiple of the value entered for Rate Step, effectively changing the
minimum and maximum rate. To prevent this, the value entered
here should be a multiple of the minimum and maximum rate
values.
