Application codes identify planned or actual product applications.
Application codes are one letter codes from A to Z that link treatment
lines to application descriptions in the Site Description editor. This
is an important linkage, and it must be defined to correctly identify
treatments and their applications on reports and in EDE files.
Typically, the heading for this Treatment editor field is “Appl Code”.
Application codes should be defined sequentially. Application A
should be the first application in a trial, B the second, etc. When a
treatment consists of more than one component, an application code
letter should be entered for each component to show which treatment
components are applied as a tank mix.
An application code letter should be entered for a treatment each
time the treatment is applied. For example, if a total of five spray
applications are made in a trial and treatment 1 is applied at the first
(1), third (3), and fifth (5) application, then each component of
treatment 1 should have application code of ACE.
Do not separate application letters by commas or spaces. Application
ranges may use a hyphen to denote the range. For example, if five spray
applications for one treatment are made sequentially, then enter the
range as A-E.
When printing a Spray/Seed Plan report, ARM can sort or select by
application codes so the report for a specific application prints only
the treatments to apply. Application codes are also used to determine
number of applications for the optional Product Amount Totals portion of
the treatments and spray/seeding plan reports. Thus, if a treatment
component line contains application codes ACE-G, ARM multiplies the
product calculation by 5 for the five applications identified for that
treatment component. When printing Labels, ARM can select by specific
application codes. A dialog displays to enter application code(s) if the
appropriate report option is selected. On multi-row container labels,
ARM automatically creates one label for each application code referenced
in each treatment. Thus application code serves as a multiplier for
printing these labels.
When a trial is marked completed, ARM runs a cross-check that an
application date is entered in the site description for each application
code that is referenced in the treatment list. ARM also checks that for
each application column in the site description with an application date
entered, that application code is referenced in the treatments. |
