OptRx

OptRx uses sensors, usually mounted on the sprayer’s booms, to assess reflected light to determine plant vigor. It assigns 
numeric values to the varying levels of vigor to create a Vegetative Index (VI). Using the VI, OptRx calculates nitrogen 
application rates, to apply a variable rate on the go. OptRx creates nitrogen rates either by using the N Algorithm or by 
using the user defined Application Rate Table. OptRx can also be used for scanning purposes.

μ

Attention: Proper care of sensor will ensure accuracy and dependability.

Sensor is designed with a vent (A) to 
prevent moisture from accumulating and 
damaging the electronics. Use care when 
attaching/using/storing sensor, so that 
nothing blocks the vent.

Ensure that the optics (B) are not exposed 
to direct water and sunlight for extended 
periods of time. Because direct sun (UV 
light) can be destructive, sensor should be 
oriented so that optics face the ground 
(even when not in use). To maximize the life 
and performance of sensors, they should be removed from equipment and housed in a protective environment 
when not in use.

Load Configuration

Press the Application App from the home screen. This will take you through the steps needed to load a 
configuration.

Once a configuration has been completed, the Map View screen appears.
