As a general rule, focus on getting the most out of your higher production zones (areas with a higher yield potential). Consider reducing inputs where yield potential is lower and around paddock boundaries, trees and other unarable areas. Reduce inputs on soils more prone to leaching and waterlogging to improve your fertiliser efficiency and reduce environmental and economic risk.

  • Firstly, create your management zones.

    Either use biomass imagery or your processed yield data to create management zones.

    See steps on how to create zones using Biomass Imagery here.

    See steps on how to create zones using Yield here.

  • Edit zones to incorporate your own knowledge of the soils and your past soil and plant sample results to edit zones accordingly.

    See steps on how to edit zones here

  • Create the prescription and assign the desired rates to each zone. We have two options for creating your prescription file.

    Create prescription files from Plans. See these steps here.

    OR

    Create prescription file from Zones. See these steps here

  • Download the prescription file.

    Prescription files are saved under Plan > Prescription Files > either "Biomass prescriptions" OR "Plan prescriptions".

    Find the prescription map you created, and click the Download icon.

    Select the machinery manufacturer and save the file onto a thumb drive.

    The file is then ready to be uploaded onto your display.

  • Read more information for importing files into your John Deere display here or for your Case display here.

Tip:
If you want to import multiple prescription files from zones ( as individual paddock) into JDOC at once:
Download the files individually - unzip them - copy and paste the FOUR file components for each prescription file into the one folder - zip back the folder and call it Rx. You can now import it into JDOC.
Alternatively, you can create prescription files from Paddock Plans and get a whole farm worth of files at once.
