What this sheet is for

Record applications properly at the time, including the conditions, so the record stands up when a buyer, an inspector or a neighbour asks about it.

Who it is for

Farms, smallholdings, contractors, groundsmen and anybody applying products to land they do not eat off immediately.

How to use it

  1. Record the weather at the time of application, not the forecast.
  2. Copy the product name and batch exactly as they appear on the container.
  3. Write the harvest or grazing interval from the label, then the date it ends.
  4. Note who applied it and what certification they hold.
  5. Record when the sprayer was last calibrated — it is the first thing questioned.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Field by field: what was applied, at what rate, in what conditions and by whom.

The label is the authority, not this sheet. No product, rate, buffer or harvest interval is printed here. They are on the label, they differ by product and country, and applying a figure from a website instead of the label is how people get it wrong. Record what the label said and what you actually did.

How to use this sheet

  1. Record the weather at the time of application, not the forecast. Wind, temperature and rain afterwards are the first things anybody asks about later.
  2. Write the harvest or grazing interval from the label, then the date it ends.
  3. Note who applied it and what certification they hold — required in many countries, and worth recording everywhere.

Questions

Why are no rates or intervals printed?

Because they are on the label, they differ by product and by country, and they change. Using a figure from a website instead of the container is how applications go wrong. This sheet records what the label said and what you did.

Do I need a certificate to spray?

In many countries, for many products, yes — and there are often separate requirements for the equipment. What applies depends on where you are, what you are applying and why. Check locally.
