Variable Rate Seeding: A Step-by-Step Guide

AgStudio provides several methods for working with Variable Rate Seeding.

1. Explore whether you want to create a recommendation for single or multi-variety seeding. 
2. The first step is to place your seed variety either individually or in batch mode.
3. Next, choose the method by which you want to create a VRS recommendation:
   • If you do not have an existing Management Zone, you need to create one 
   • If you choose to use ASR, you need to import the calculators you want to use.
• From a Management Zone 
• From a Soil Types layer – see the Help in the AgStudio Seeding menu for details.
• From a Crop Zone Boundary– see the Help in the AgStudio Seeding menu for details.
• Using the Advanced Seed Rate (ASR) Recommendations extension to build and run individual or multi-variety seed rate recommendations 
4. After creating the VRS recommendation, you have the option to adjust it for irrigation. 
5. Once the VRS recommendation is created, you can export it to a controller file 
• Each controller may have its own set of proprietary information that you can enter during the export process – be sure to check out the details.
