It is an advantage to use the electronic spray journal if you have many sprays on the same areas. If you are a farmer and have a field plan, your field plan from the Community Form will automatically be transferred to the system, so you can select the field that you have treated from the field plan. If you do not have a field plan, you create the treated areas on an ongoing basis (eg a field or a table in a greenhouse).
You update the journal regularly. Each time you have sprayed, enter the spray into the system within 7 days. You must register which area you have treated, how large an area you have sprayed, which pesticide you have used with which dose and date of the spraying.
In the journal you have an overview of all your treated areas and can see when, where and how much you have sprayed. The spray record must be kept continuously for each planning period.
