In this video, we will create a prescription using Agrian Prescription Creator.
Agrian Prescription Creator is a connected software tool for prescription creation
in Operations Center™ web. It allows producers to easily make
zones and variable rate prescriptions for application, seeding, and tillage operations.
Before creating a prescription, take time to make sure you have the correct products entered in
Products and review your boundaries Land to make sure they are accurate. This is necessary
because Agrian Prescription Creator will use this data to help generate the prescription.
You can access Agrian Prescription Creator in three ways.
Your first option is to use the Field Card. From the Operations Center Map,
select the field you want to create a prescription for. This opens the Field Card
which displays field information and shortcuts to other tools within Operations Center.
Select the "details" button on the Field Card then select the “Prescription” tab. This is
where you will see the prescriptions that are assigned to the field.
Select the “Add Prescription” button.
Select the “Create New” button then select “Continue to Agrian” to open Agrian.
Another option is to access Agrian Prescription Creator via Field Analyzer.
Select the field you want to create a prescription for then select the
“Connected Tools” menu in the top right-hand corner of the page. Select “Agrian Prescription
Creator” to open Agrian with the Client / Farm / Field and boundary you have selected.
The final option is to access Agrian Prescription Creator from the “Plan” menu.
Let’s get started. Select which prescription type you would like to create. This may be
application/seeding or tillage. In this example, we will create
an application/seeding prescription. Select the Operations Center organization
that is related to the field you wish to create a prescription for. Next, select
the Client / Farm / Field and field boundary for the prescription. You have the option to include
interior boundaries if needed. Using this option will create zones based off the interior polygons.
Choose a prescription source and a layer to build a prescription based
off of existing data in Operations Center. This data is used to help populate zones.
Layers provide an additional subset of data from the field event. Example layers
include Harvest Yield and Harvest Moisture.
In this example, we will create a prescription using a Field Operation
as the prescription source. Select the “Next” button to begin creating the prescription.
The next page shows your zone map. Five zones are created by default,
but that can be adjusted up or down depending on the needs of your field.
To update the number of zones, select the desired number in the drop-down menu
and enter a value for the minimum area of each zone, then select the “Update Map” button. In
this example, we will update the zone map to feature three zones instead of five.
To adjust the size of each zone,
use the slider bar or enter a value in the boxes located at the bottom of the page.
Select the “Area” drop-down menu to highlight the different zones and add your desired chemicals,
varieties, or tank mixes. Notice the zones are color-coded. Mark the checkbox next to the zone
number to highlight the zone on the map and deselect the checkbox to stop highlighting.
In this example, we will select the “Add Variety” button. We will choose variety A
which is a variety of corn. A new window will display with the following options:
“Area” which displays a breakdown of each zone size.
“Value” is where you can enter the value that should be applied for each
zone. Here we’ll add example values for the seeding rate in each zone.
“Distribute” allows you to evenly distribute values across all zones.
“Dissolve” allows you to combine all zones with identical values into one zone.
“Delete” gives you the option to delete a particular product from prescription. Use
this option if you want to start over with a new product.
Depending on your equipment setup, you can add multiple varieties or
products with varying target rates to each zone.
Select the “Save” button to finish creating your prescription.
After your prescription is created, you can preview it by going back to the Field Card.
Select the “View Details” button to review the prescription.
The newly created prescription file will appear on the Files page in Operations Center web.
Here you can share it wirelessly with a connected machine
or download the prescription for use with a USB. Prescriptions can also be
sent with pre-defined work plans when using Work Planner and a Generation 4 display.
For help and more information, navigate to the
Assistance Menu in Operations Center web and select “Help Documentation”.
