Weed Applications

Weeds App

Overview​

Weed Applications capture planned or completed treatment activities and display them both on the map and in the bottom drawer. Applications can include a treatment path (polygon or line) uploaded as a zipped shapefile, along with key operational details such as control method, date, target species, volume, buffer, weather conditions, and notes. Once created, applications are visible as blue paths/polygons on the imagery and as rows in the Weed Applications table.

⚠️Note: The Create Weeds Application button in the top-right card is available only when the Weeds Grid layer is hidden.

3. Enter application details​

  • Control Method – e.g., BiActive Glyphosate 1%.
  • Date – treatment date.
  • Target Species – e.g., Passiflora foetida.
  • Volume (L) – planned or used volume.
  • Buffer (m) – optional offset applied to the uploaded path.
  • Application Notes – free-text operational notes (e.g., equipment, safety, access).
  • Conditions (optional) – wind speed/direction, humidity, etc.

4. Upload the application path​

  • Supported geometry: polygon or line.
  • Upload a .zip containing a shapefile with the following mandatory parts: 
    .shp   geometry
    .shx   shape index
    .dbf   attributes
    .prj   projection
    .cpg   character encoding
  • Drag & drop the ZIP into Application Path, or click Browse File.

5. Save​

  • Click Create to save the application.

After creation​

Weeds App

  • On the map: The uploaded path renders as a blue polygon/line. You can show/hide it using Weed Application Paths in the toolbar or LAYERS panel.
  • In the bottom drawer: The application appears in Weed Applications with key columns (as configured), e.g.:
    • Name
    • Control Method
    • Status (e.g., ReadyToTreat)
    • Date
    • Buffer (m)
    • Length (m)
    • Volume (L)
    • Target Species
    • Application Notes
  • Export (if enabled): Use the Export button in the drawer to download application records for reporting.
Tip
  • If the Create Weed Application button is not available, ensure the Weeds Grid layer is off.
  • Use a projected CRS in your shapefile appropriate for your site to ensure buffer, length and area values are meaningful.
  • Keep Application Notes specific (equipment, operator/contractor, constraints) to support auditing and repeatability.
