Spray Diary
Spray Diary and chemical usage and application to fruit and vegetable crops has never been easier and more accurate using the Spray Diary module. Automatic inventory and chemical costs are managed in the background, with integrated withholding period management to ensure harvests are not contaminated at the time of harvesting.

In Advance
Tasks are created by an agronomist or spray manager and the printed task/s can be given to the assigned staff member. Once the task has been performed, the staff member can return the printed instruction for verification and any deviations made from the intended task can be recorded, if there are no deviations, then the task has been successfully recorded.
In Retrospect
Spray tasks can be recorded after they have been performed, in this scenario the staff member performing the task will fill out a blank Spray Diary (printed by ProducePak) which can be entered either by the staff member or an administration member.
Spray Diary Contents
Each Spray Diary record can contain the following information (note, some data is optional)
• Date (auto filled out)
• Spray Task Number (auto filled out)
• Employee
• Authoriser (auto filled out)
• Notes
• Tank Size (L)
• Rows Covered
• Row Width (M)
• Jet/Swirl (Ltrs/Min, BAR, PSI Auto filled out)
• Jets per Row
• Speed (Km/ph)
• Adjust jet (BAR, PSI, Ltrs/Jet/Min)
• Inventory Product Details (herbicides etc)
• Blocks/Crops (multiple Crops per spray diary)
• And more….
Automatically calculated information includes:
• Total Area
• Litres Required
• Tanks Required
• Litres Per Hectare

Block Crop History
When creating Spray Diaries, you can view the Crop history quickly which highlights quantities, and costs of inventory previously used on the crop.
Withholding Periods
When you record a task, the withholding period is automatically updated for each crop (where relevant) and can easily and rapidly be reported on. If produce is picked when it is in a withholding period, multiple alerts are given during the stock arrival and packing processes.
Inventory Quick View
When creating a Spray Diary, the user can use this facility to quickly view inventory. This facility ensures inventory turnover is managed in a FIFO (first in, first out) manner where possible.
Inventory & Expense Allocation
When a Spray Diary or Water Diary is created, the inventory used is automatically deducted from the ‘current stock on hand’ levels. If a task is verified as using a different amount of inventory then the relevant adjustment is made by ProducePak. The cost of the inventory used is allocated to the particular crop/s being treated. If multiple crops are being treated at the same time, ProducePak will allocate the inventory costs to the crops in proportion of their size. The same allocation method is used by the ProducePak Water Diary.
Getting The Big Picture
The information collected by the ProducePak Spray Diary is one component of cost which is used to determine crop production costs.
Easy Audit
Because you have all of the information on-hand you no longer have to spend weeks gathering and preparing the relevant information for HACCP audits as ProducePak has done it for you instantly.
