Enhancing Field Operation Planning With Cultivation Templates

Planning field operations before every sowing season is a critical yet time-intensive task, especially for agronomists managing large-scale farms. Every step, from land preparation to harvest, requires careful scheduling, the right equipment, and optimal timing.

To streamline this process and improve efficiency, our software, LoginEKO Farming, introduces cultivation templates, a feature within the Operations Module that standardizes and optimizes field planning with predefined, customizable workflows.

What Are Cultivation Templates?

Cultivation templates are customizable, predefined sequences of operations required for growing specific crops.

Instead of manually planning every field operation, agronomists can rely on predefined templates that include all key steps:

• land preparation,
• sowing,
• scouting,
• weed control,
• fertilization,
• plant protection,
• monitoring and
• harvesting.

Each template is built on agronomic expertise, past experience and years of collected data, ensuring that every operation occurs within its optimal time frame, using preferred implements for a structured and efficient workflow.

How Do Cultivation Templates Work?

Once created, a cultivation template acts like a stamp, applying a predefined sequence of operations across multiple fields in just a few clicks.

• Create a cultivation template
  Define the crop-specific workflow with recommended operations and timing.

• Apply it across fields
  Assign the template to multiple fields for the upcoming season.

• Automatic scheduling
  All operations appear in the Plan Operations Module and are fully adjustable.

• Seamless execution
  When the time comes, the tasks automatically convert into Work Orders, available to tractor operators via the Work Orders mobile app.

This approach ensures a structured, data-driven workflow, reducing manual work while maintaining flexibility for real-time adjustments.

Future Enhancements: Smart Scheduling with Growing Degree Days

To make cultivation templates even more precise, we are working on integrating Growing Degree Days (GDD)—a data-driven method that calculates optimal timing for field operations based on temperature accumulation.

This enhancement will allow the system to automatically adjust schedules based on real-world climate conditions, ensuring better adaptability to seasonal variations.
