📘 Screen: Agronomic Prescription
The Agronomic Prescription screen records the agronomist's recommendations: which product to apply, at what rate, for which crop, and in what total quantity. From there the system tracks how much of that prescription has already been used and how much is left, so you can check whether the field application is within what was recommended.
