How it works without a drone

Draw or import your field boundaries in PIX4Dfields.
Pick a high resolution satellite image of the field. The yearly license includes 100 satellite credits per year to pay for those images.
Generate vegetation indices such as NDVI to see where the crop is underperforming.
Split the field into zones (1 to 7) and assign a rate to each.
Export the prescription map in ISOXML or send it to John Deere Operations Center for your tractor or sprayer.

Everything is processed on your computer, even offline in the field.

Satellite or drone: when to use each

	Satellite	Drone
You need	Only the license and credits	A drone, a pilot and a flight
Best for	Scanning many fields and acres fast, season long monitoring	Fine detail: weeds, stand counts, spot damage
Output	Indices, zones, variable rate prescriptions	The same, plus spot spraying prescriptions

In practice: use satellite to check every field and fly the drone only where the map shows a problem. The same PIX4Dfields license processes both.
