Die Stammdaten - Fruchtarten und Böden

Within this section of the Raindancer System, you oversee the management of crops, units, and soils.

Entering the types of crops enables quick identification of which crop is cultivated in each field when viewing the field section.
It's possible that after importing, the names might be represented as numbers. These can be modified at any time subsequently.

Soils

Preparing soil is only necessary if you intend to irrigate weather stations or on demand.

A catalogue offers 12 distinct soil substrates for this purpose. They can be assembled into 10 cm blocks to create the soil. This soil can then be applied to fields for determining soil moisture. The layered substrates yield a staggered field capacity at depth.

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