The VRAHerbicide task only processes tiff items as input.  
If your input data is a processed shape file it first needs to be converted to geotiff, this can be done with the 'ShapeToGeoTiffTask'.  

Pass the code of the shape item into the {code} parameter, this creates a new item with tiff data as a sibling of the shape item with the same parent 
This new geotiff item should be used as input to the a task.
