Farm/Orchard and Geographic Zone Details
If you choose the ‘farm/orchard’ option for the zone type, then you have more options in the zone details window below.
Besides the name and colour of the zone, you can add information about the farm/orchard where your IoT devices will be located. Area of crop, crop type, altitude, type of irrigation and crop year can be defined. The ‘computed area’ in the last field is calculated from the area set in the window below. This window allows you to set a physical area using the map tool.
