How do I turn my agronomist's advice into a job?
If you share your farm with an agronomist, they can send you spray or fertiliser advice. It appears under Adviser advice, with their name and qualification. Choose who should do it under Give the job to, then press Accept and plan. AgriSync makes a planned job with the product and rate copied in. Press Decline if you don't want it.
Tap to see the whole screenThe person you give it to sees it in their jobs. When they mark it done, they record what was actually used. That can differ from the advice.
What does a spray record keep?
| Part | What it records |
|---|---|
| When | Date, start and finish time |
| Where | Field, and the area treated in hectares |
| What | Crop, product, MAPP number, rate, total product used, water volume, target or reason |
| Who | Operator and their certificate (NPTC or PA), sprayer or equipment |
| Weather | Wind speed and direction, temperature and notes |
| Advice | The adviser's recommendation, if the job came from one |
Your SFI audit PDF also lists your field records for the last 12 months. Nitrogen from fertiliser records, and fuel you record, go into your carbon estimate too.
Common questions
Can a worker record a spray?
Yes. Farm owners, managers and workers can record jobs. Only owners and managers can plan jobs, give them to people or accept advice.
What if the operator leaves the farm?
A done record keeps the operator's name and certificate, because it is the farm's legal record.
Can I plan a job for later?
Yes, if you're an owner or manager. Pick Plan for later, choose who does it and when.
