What It Tells You

A zone is a polygon inside a field boundary that you treat differently from the rest: a wet corner, a sandy headland, a strip under an SFI action. Zones let you record an application, a rate or an action against the part of the field it went on. A variable-rate plan and a scheme claim both need that. The NDVI capture shows where the canopy differs. That is the usual reason to draw one.

How It Works

Draw zones on the field map once, as polygons inside the field boundary. Zone-rate planning, the applications log and the scheme evidence read from them.
