Making use of agCommander's Band and Configuration Percentages
These options are to be found under Cropping > Options
For Cotton Fields
We introduced the Band Percentage option many years ago at the request of the cotton industry to cater for spraying the area of the rows of cotton plants only, or alternatively, the area between the rows of cotton.
We also added the Configuration Percentage option to cater for situations in dryland cotton where there is limited moisture and the growers have to plant less rows of cotton than they would in an irrigated situation. Known as "skip row configurations".
For Vineyard and Orchard situations
Banded sprays present an opportunity to place the recommended rate of a product onto an area smaller than the whole block. This way we use less chemical over the whole block, but still apply the equivalent rate per hectare (or acre) to the target.
So, just enable Band Percentage, set the percentage of the area sprayed, enter the rates as if you are spaying the whole block and agCommander will work out the amounts to deduct from inventory.
There is really only a need to use the Band Percentage in your situation ... as shown below
