Crop Input List

Apr 20, 2021 4 min read

The crop input list is where the inputs are entered in for the crops. It's where you enter in all the inputs associated with the crop. It's also where you adjust the quantities of the inputs.

Example of a list item

Here's an example of an item in the crop input list. It shows that corn seed is one of the inputs to the crop. The population is listed also. The number beside the quantity, the zero, is the sort order. Planting or seeding is usually set to zero, and then all other inputs are set with either a postive or negative number depending if they were applied before or after planting.

Chemical application example

Here's an example of a list of chemicals that are added to a crop. This would be something that would be applied to wheat ground. With chemicals, each chemical will likely be applied in different units. Those units are shown, as well as the quantity. Since these items were all mixed together in a sprayer and sprayed at the same time, we're showing them with the same days from planting. We've added a bit of nitrogen also, to help with breaking down the residue.

Pick List

The pick list is where the inputs are added to the crop. There is a pick list for each of the input categories. Clicking on the items in the pick list will add them to the crop at the default rate. If the rate needs to be changed from the default, it can easily be edited.

Pick List

The navigation sidebar is where you'll navigate between the different options for the crop input list. The income categories are listed first, and they are followed by the expense items.

When you click on one of the input categories, such as Chemicals, the app highlights the inputs on the crop that are of that category.

Further down below the input categories of items for the crop are some reports and summaries for the crop.
