Determines which disease model runs for plantings in this field.
Microclimate settings (optional)
These tell CropHUD how this field's microclimate differs from standard open weather station conditions.
Accurate microclimate information improves disease and pest model predictions. If you're not sure, the
defaults are safe — you can refine them later.
