Die Stammdaten - Fruchtarten und Böden

In this area, you manage the crops, units and soils.

Entering the crop types helps you to see at a glance later in the area section which crop is grown on the field.
After an import, it may be that the name has been adopted as a number. You can of course adjust this later.

Soils

Setting up soil is only relevant if you plan to irrigate weather stations or by demand.

There is a catalogue of 12 different soil substrates available for this purpose. These can be put together in 10 cm blocks to form the soil. This soil can then be added to the fields where the soil moisture is to be determined. The substrate layers result in a deep staggered field capacity.

This value indicates how well a soil can hold water against gravity.
