In order for the OptRx Crop Sensor Module to recommend an N rate, you must scan the field to find a
V.I. Reference Value. To find a Reference Value, choose the healthiest portion of your field where the
tallest and greenest plants are located, and scan this portion for 300 seconds (5 minutes). This V.I.
Reference Value is a baseline of optimum crop performance that the display can compare against other
cropland.

Scan a Reference Strip

This procedure describes how to scan a reference strip into the display. It assumes that you have
already performed the following tasks:
