FieldView lets you quickly and easily create scripts to help you apply additional fertilizer on the zones that need it most, while reducing the expense of nutrition in zones that don’t require it.
Whether you’ve already got several seasons of historical data, or are brand new to FieldView, the process is easy and effective.

How Smart Farms Make Nitrogen Work Harder
Use FieldView™ farm management software to boost nutrient efficiency. Learn how our agricultural technology helps optimize nitrogen across every acre.
Nitrogen is one of your biggest annual expenses, and with stubborn volatility in the global oil market, the costs can make your nutrient management strategy difficult to sustain.
As one of the premiere agricultural technology tools driving input efficiency, FieldView offers an easy way to make your nitrogen work harder.
And the best news is, you can start right now, mid-season, and see results before harvest.
How Does FieldView Help with Nitrogen Placement?
How to Create a Script for Nitrogen Placement
Simply open up a scouting map on FieldView.com.
From there, you have four easy ways to create a nutrition management script to make your nitrogen investment work harder:
- Auto-generate zones from any scouting map. You don’t need to over-complicate things if you don’t want to. You can use your most recent scouting map from satellite imagery to leverage the most up-to-date data about your crops.
- Re-use zones from previous planting, fertility or crop-protection prescriptions. If you have it, historical data can help enrich the precision of your nitrogen script. Any prescriptions already in FieldView can be used to automatically create your zones.
- Use imported zones from other sources, including SSURGO soil data. You don’t need to have historical data in FieldView to get started.
- Use our quick-draw tool to create new zones by hand.
The Best Path for Precision Agriculture
FieldView also includes advanced features to make your prescription zones as precise as possible.
- You can use the Data Layer selection feature to stack layers of data on top of each other for the richest view of your fields. Choose soil maps, yield data and satellite imagery to create a rock-solid foundation for your nitrogen prescription zones.
- And FieldView’s Zone Creation tool can use field variability data to automatically generate management zones based on things like soil type, contours and productivity patterns.
It’s Never Too Early, and Never Too Late
Deploying FieldView as your farm management software pays greater dividends the longer and more consistently you use it. But it’s never too late in the season to benefit from more precise application of costly inputs like nitrogen.
