Variable rate maps for your own sprayer

We fly the survey, build the zones, and hand you a file your tractor terminal can read. You apply it. Less product, put where the crop actually needs it.

The bit that makes this different

Everywhere else on this site we tell you what we cannot spray, because applying plant protection products from the air is not commercially permitted in the UK to anyone, only under a handful of trial permits. A prescription map has nothing to do with that. We are not applying anything. We hand you data, your sprayer does the work, and you can use it on products we could never legally apply ourselves.

How it works

Four steps, and only the last one is yours.

We fly the survey

DJI Mavic 3M, capturing RGB plus four multispectral bands (green, red, red edge, near infrared) with RTK positioning.

We build the zones

The imagery becomes NDVI and NDRE layers, then a zonation map showing where the crop is genuinely performing differently.

Your agronomist sets the rates

They decide what goes on and how much, zone by zone. We put their figures into the file.

You apply it

The file goes on a USB stick, into your terminal, and your sprayer varies the rate across the field automatically.

What your terminal needs

We export in shapefile, GeoTIFF and ISOXML. Where a manufacturer documents a specific route, here it is:

MakeFormatNotes
John DeereShapefile via USBGreenStar 3, 4 and 5. Copy the Rx folder to the stick. Operations Center is the easier route if you use it.
AmazoneSpotSpraying shapefile, or zipped ISOXML
HARDIGeoSelect (.tiff), or ISOXMLGeoSelect systems.
AgrifacShapefile

And by ISOBUS, most of the rest

ISOXML is the ISO 11783 standard, so it is understood by terminals from:

Case New Holland AGCO Fendt Massey Ferguson Trimble CLAAS Amazone CCI Müller Topcon Deutz-Fahr Valtra Kubota

We will not promise your particular display works until we have seen it. Terminals vary, and some are fussy about shapefiles in ways no compatibility list captures. Tell us your make and model and we will send a free test file before you spend anything. Better we find out now than on the day you are trying to travel.

What it costs

£95
up to 250 acres, then £1 an acre

One prescription

Covers every field in that mapping visit, not one field.

Save £85
£295
£380 for all four · up to 250 acres, then £3 an acre

All four, with a season package

A prescription alongside each of your four season visits. Bought singly that is four times £95; on a season package it is £295, so effectively one is free. From your second season they are included in the package.

Prices include VAT where applicable. A prescription is built from a survey we have flown, so it is bought alongside crop mapping rather than on its own. See the mapping packages, where four seasonal visits also come at four for the price of three.

Who decides what goes on

You and your agronomist. We fly the survey, build the zones, and hand you a file your terminal can read. What goes on and how much is an agronomic decision, and it stays with the people qualified to make it.

Common questions

Do you spray it for us?

No. We produce the map, you apply it with your own sprayer or spreader. That is the point: because we are not applying anything from the air, none of the aerial application restrictions apply. You can use a prescription on plant protection products we could never legally spray ourselves.

Who decides the rates?

You and your agronomist. We build the zones from the survey and hand you a file; the product and the rate for each zone are agronomic decisions and they stay with the people qualified to make them.

Will it work with my terminal?

Most likely. We export shapefile, GeoTIFF and ISOXML, which covers John Deere GreenStar, Amazone, HARDI, Agrifac and most ISOBUS displays. Rather than guess, tell us your make and model and we will send a free test file before you commit to anything.

How do I get the file onto the tractor?

USB stick for most terminals. For John Deere we export a shapefile and you copy the Rx folder straight onto the stick, though their Operations Center is the smoother route if you use it.

Do I need a new survey every time?

For a new prescription, yes. A prescription reflects the crop as it was on the day we flew, so an eight-week-old map will send your sprayer to problems that have moved. That is why the season package exists.

What does it cost?

£95 covers every field in a mapping visit up to 250 acres, then £1 an acre beyond that. If you take a season mapping package, all four prescriptions are £295, which is four for the price of about three. From your second season with us they are included in the package at no extra cost.

Terminal compatibility last checked 10 August 2026 against PIX4Dfields documentation. Formats and supported displays change, so we confirm against your own kit with a test file before any job.
