makeBaseRate: Trim excess experimental rates

In paulhegedus/OFPE: On-Farm Precision Experiments (OFPE) Data Management and Analysis Tools

Trim excess experimental rates

Description

This function takes field boundaries from the OFPE database, sets the base rate, and adds columns required to merge with the experiment or prescription output.

Usage

makeBaseRate(
  db,
  fieldname,
  unique_fieldname,
  base_rate,
  trt_width,
  trt_length,
  farmername,
  mgmt_scen
)

Arguments

db	Connection to an OFPE formatted database.
fieldname	If the user is creating a new experiment, provide or select the fieldname of the field to use. The field list is from the available fields in the database for experimentation.
unique_fieldname	Unique fieldname for the field(s) used for the experiment. This concatenates multiple fields with an ampersand. Used for labeling.
base_rate	The rate to apply between the experimental rates and the field edge, or as check rates in the prescription selected option.
trt_width	Width, in meters, for which to apply treatments.
trt_length	Length, in meters, for which to apply treatments.
farmername	If the user is creating a new experiment, provide or select the name of the farmer that owns or manages the field(s) that an experiment is going to be generated for. Must be same for all fields.
mgmt_scen	If the user is creating a prescription or experimental prescription, they must provide the management scenario to use for their prescription. The user can choose from the management options listed in the SimClass. The options are 'SSOPT': site-specific optimized rates, 'FFOPT': full-field optimum uniform rate, 'FS': farmer selected uniform rate, 'Min': applying the least intensive input rates (i.e. 0 lbs N/ac, or 25 lbs seed/ac), 'Opp' is omitted because this strategy is the least intensive input rate in conventional system types, and the farmer selected rate for organic systems, both of which are already provided. Default to 'base' for new experiments, override if making a prescription.

Value

A 'sf' object with field boundaries and the base rate.
