OptRx uses sensors, usually mounted on the sprayer's booms, to assess reflected light to determine
plant vigor. It assigns numeric values to the varying levels of vigor to create a Vegetative Index (VI).
Using the VI, OptRx calculates nitrogen application rates—taking into consideration the following
preferences of the grower and existing traits in the environment:
• Minimum amount of N to be applied
• Maximum amount of N to be applied
• Conditions where no N should be applied
The nitrogen rates created by OptRx can immediately be used to perform a variable rate application
based on the needs of the crop.

NSTALLATION
CAUTION: If you do not install the sensors in their proper places, then the map created by the display will
not accurately reflect actual field conditions according to row sensor placement.
Checklist
• Sensors should be equally spaced apart. Sensors should not be mounted on the ends of the booms.
• Each sensor should be mounted so that it is centered over the top of a crop row.
• Sensor can operate 20 - 50 in. (51 -127 cm) above the crop canopy. Sensors perform best at 30 - 36 in.
(76-91 cm).

The display supports up to 10 OptRx
sensors. For swaths that are 80 feet or
larger, five sensors or more should be used.
For swaths less than 80 feet, a minimum of
three sensors is recommended.
When installing sensor cables, you must
install them in the correct order from left to
right.
