Field Comparison: How to Compare Performance Across Fields

The BeCrop Farm interface enables users to analyze and compare biological performance across multiple fields within a single project. By using color-coded maps and side-by-side analysis tools, you can: Identify biological bottlenecks, correlate soil chemistry with microbial activity and determine if yield limitations are driven by biology or soil fertility.

Method 1: Basic Field-to-Farm Comparison

Use this method to quickly compare a field’s performance to the overall project average.

  1. Open your BeCrop Farm project to access the mapping interface.

  2. Select a specific metric from the BeCrop Index list (e.g., Global Nitrogen Index).

  3. Click on any individual field on the map to display its average score out of 100.

  4. Compare the selected field’s score to the farm-wide average shown in the side tab.

Method 2: Using Comparison Mode for Dual Analysis

For deeper spatial insights—especially across distant fields or different indexes—activate the dual-screen Comparison Mode.

  1. In the top right of the interface, click the Comparison Mode icon.

  2. Use the dual windows to zoom in on different fields for side-by-side viewing.

  3. Use the toggles at the bottom of each window to display:
    • Different BeCrop projects, or
    • Different biological indexes

  2. Analyze multiple microbial functions side-by-side.
    For example:
    • Set the left window to Organic Phosphorus Assimilation
    • Set the right window to Inorganic Phosphorus Solubilization

This can help you identify which phosphorus pathway needs improvement.

Method 3: Correlating Biology with Chemistry (BeCrop+)

If your project includes BeCrop+ data, you can uncover patterns between chemical and biological activity.

  1. In Comparison Mode, set one window to a Physico-chemical metric (e.g., Available Nitrogen).

  2. Set the other window to a related biological index (e.g., Inorganic Nitrogen Release).

  3. Look for mismatches:
    • If a field has high Available Nitrogen but low Inorganic Nitrogen Release, this may indicate that excess inorganic fertilizer is suppressing microbial nutrient cycling.
