Properties for Extensions and Crops

If the chemical you want to apply is not in the system’s database, you must first

add it. For more details about adding to or modifying the chemicals database,

refer to the addVANTAGE Pro 6.1 Extensions and Crops manual.

Adding Treatments

A spraying application usually follows a treatment recommendation (displayed in

the Events list). To inform the model you applied a field treatment, do the

following (Figure 61):

1. Right-click the crop and select Properties.

2. Click the Treatments tab, then the Add icon.

3. Select the chemical you applied in the field from the list.

4. In the Application date field, click the calendar icon to select the correct

treatment date and time from the pop-up that appears.

Note: The wording shown to the right of the calendar icon indicates the server’s

location.

5. Enter a Remark. (optional)

6. Press OK when you are done.

Note: If you want to add a spray for more than one disease (even if the chemicals

used are identical), you have to perform this operation for each individual

disease for which the treatment is valid.

If you decide that you don’t need to apply a treatment, e.g. if other

circumstances determine a treatment is not warranted, you must select the

entry “Warning ignored” from the chemicals list. Whatever the case is, you must

either apply a treatment or choose to ignore the warning. Failure to do so will

leave the current alarm active and no new warnings will be issued.

Removing a Treatment

If you added a treatment and you find out at a later date that it was incorrect

(either the date of application, or the type of chemical), you can delete the

treatment and add the correct one, if needed. Proceed as follows:

1. Right-click the crop and select Properties.

2. Click the Treatments tab.

3. Select the treatment from the lower list and click the Remove icon.

4. Click the OK button.

The system automatically recalculates the model’s new data.
