Introduction

HORSCH supports the import of prescription files created with PIX4Dfields, for variable rate or spot-spraying applications. 

HORSCH sprayers support two types of mission:

  • eosT10Pro Spot-Spraying:
    • A zipped shp file containing a point geometry.
  • eosT10Pro VRA-ISOXML:
    • A zipped XML file containing a  Variable Rate Application (VRA) map.

Creating a Targeted Operation

Targeted operations enable users to mark obstacles, no-spray and variable rate zones directly on a operations layer. These zones can be delineated based on drone, satellite and external imagery.

To create a Targeted spraying map, please follow the procedure described here: How to create a targeted spraying map - PIX4Dfields.
