How to plan a new treatment?

Attention!

Before you can perform a treatment, you need to add a culture, machine, and configuration

 

Step 1 - Open Spraybook Module

On the left side of your screen, you will find various modules. Here, you can locate the Spraybook module. 
In the menu under Spraybook, you will find Planning.
Under Planning, you can find an overview of all planned treatments.
 

Step 2 - Create New Treatment

At the top of the list of all planned treatments, you will find the green button New Treatment. Clicking here opens a list where you can choose the purpose for which you want to perform a treatment.
 
 

Step 2 bis - Specify Land

If your crops/fields are not spread across multiple countries, this explanation is not relevant to you.

If your crops/fields are in multiple countries, you will see a screen where you specify the country where you will perform the treatment. Choose the country and click the green button Next. Then, you will see a screen where you can enter the details of your treatment.

 

Step 3 - Fill in Details

To enter a treatment, you need to fill in some details step by step. Below, you can read how to do this:
