Add Band Spraying/Spreading option to activities
Reference Top Fruit: There is no way of entering applications/plans for fertilizer applications when band spreading ie. only fertilizing the strip not entire area. This also applies to herbicide application where only the strip is sprayed.
A default setting for spray operator and spray quality would be useful. When the same sprayer is used all season by the same operator this would simplify things.

Could you please when reporting Activities note clearly where Banded Applications have been made and at what %age. At the moment we have to compare acreage applied to total acreage, which does not itself differentiated between a part field application and a Banded Application.

Chemical thinning applications on topfruit with the same sprayer and operator used to be possible on the old muddy boots by clicking the block/paddock and altering the % to be sprayed.On GLGM now not possible unless you write a spray rec out for each block of trees. Seems a backward step and the operator now armed with multiple spray recs when muddy boots it was all on one page.
Creating the same pathway as the old model would be helpful. -

Yes. This is currently not compliant with Red Tractor or other accreditation. Nor does it meet operational planning requirement to set the appropriate rate per Ha of applied area and to enable the operation of the Audit feature.
Machinery Set Up as in Cropwalker needs to enable standard Band Settings while enabling changes, as in Cropwalker.
We will not be able to transfer Herbicide applications from Cropwalker until this is in place. -

For applications in orchards where herbicide and fertiliser is applied to the crop in a band rather than overall. CW logged this as a % of the band width.

Can we have the ability to apply ferts and agchem as band spray?
