How do I track the agronomist's fertilization plan and compare projected costs with what was actually applied?

In Fertilization > «Fertilization plan» you build a crop's plan for a year: the fertilizer application cycles, the formulas with their fertilizers and the dose per tree for each plot, and the system projects the cost per plot, per cycle and for the year. What's applied in the field is recorded in «Traceability»; there's no screen that puts the projected and the actual side by side, but the Owari Assistant can compare them for you.

How the plan is built

1. Choose the Crop and the year.
2. In «Cycles of the year», create the cycles: each fertilizer application is a cycle, up to 12 a year, each with its date.
3. In each cycle, create the formulas and, in each formula, its fertilizers with «Bags», «Bag weight (kg)» and «Cost per bag».
4. On the cycle's plot card, you choose which formula goes on each plot and the dose in g/tree.
5. If one cycle is similar to another, use «Copy formulas from another cycle».
6. Upload up to 10 photos per cycle as evidence.

The plan is loaded and edited online, and it's included on every plan, Seed too. If the agronomist has a user on the farm, they work on it with their role's permissions.

The cost projection

The «Cost projection» card is calculated from each plot's dose and number of trees: each formula's bags give its cost per kilo, and a plot's cost is the dose times its trees times that cost. It shows each cycle's subtotal and the «Projected total / year». That's why it pays to keep each plot's «Number of trees» up to date, the same figure used for yield per tree and per area.

What was actually applied

• Traceability: you pick a plot and see its fertilization tasks, with date, task and day wages; plus its soil tests (PDF, Word, Excel or images up to 40 MB) and the photo record of the cycles.
• Task log: the labor for each fertilizer application, by plot.
• Purchases and expenses: the fertilizers you bought, by crop, with their classification, for example «Fertilizers». We explain it in sales, purchases and expenses.
• Home: each plot's next fertilization.

Projected vs. actual, with the assistant

When you're online, ask the Owari Assistant, a built-in artificial intelligence agent: «how much had I planned for fertilizing the coffee this year, and how much have I spent on fertilization tasks so far?» or «how much did I spend on fertilizer?». The assistant reads the plan with its projection and the fertilization tasks with their cost, and compares them for you by plot or in total; fertilizer purchases, remember, are recorded by crop.
