Track Spray Records On-the-Go (Mobile)
You can now access FarmQA spray records from the FarmQA mobile app. Spray records are automatically generated when users complete a recommendation in the FarmQA mobile app. All your spray records can be viewed and exported from your FarmQA mobile app and easily shared with your growers.
Scouting Reports Get a Picture-Perfect Upgrade
With this update, your reports can provide growers with a clearer and more comprehensive picture of their fields, allowing them to make better decisions. New options include:
- See it for Yourself: Now you can easily add high-resolution satellite imagery, like those from Sentinel or Planet, directly into your scouting reports.
- Beyond Photos: You can also include additional data layers, like NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) or NDRE (Normalized Difference Red Edge), to your reports. These layers highlight specific aspects of plant health.
- Pick the Perfect View: Choose the image that best suits your needs. Do you want to see the latest field conditions? Include a recently captured satellite image. Need to emphasize changes over time? Select a temporal data layer.
Save Time Writing Prescriptions with Profiles
Streamline your prescription writing process by creating prescription profiles. Each profile stores the attributes you typically include in prescriptions, such as herbicides and fertilizers. Simply build the profile once, then apply it to future prescriptions to automatically populate those fields, saving you valuable time.
Crop Planning Updates Provide Flexibility
These latest updates empower you with greater control over your crop plans:
- Effortless Plan Adjustments: Need to tweak product selections, application amounts, or covered acreage within your plan? No problem! You can now edit directly on the Fields page after committing your crop plan.
- Easily Swap Crops: Changing crop assignments is a breeze. Head to the Home page and assign a new crop plan to a specific field.
- Actionable Crop Summaries: Get a clear picture of your planting costs with detailed crop summaries. This includes breakdowns by seed type, planted area, seed quantity, price per unit, and total seed cost. Plus, the total plan application cost is displayed at the bottom of the page for easy reference.
