Add spray jobs to the app, including product and rates
1. Go to Field Operations > Spray > Add Job
2. Select Multiple Fields at Once if there are multiple fields to get the same spray recommendation and timing, or Select the individual field.
NOTE: If you select Multiple Fields at Once, there is no ability to change Approvals. For example, you may want to uncheck "Approved by Consultant" if a junior agronomist is learning how to add spray jobs, and you want the senior agronomist to review the recommendations before the farmer can view them. Unchecking the Approved by Consultant allows consultants to sync and view all recommendations without the farmer being able to see it.
3. Spray Window: Choose if the window is Ready, or the date range. It is recommended to select the Before End Date when creating spray jobs for pre-emergence timing. This will ensure that the recommendation is clear to have been completed before the crop is out of the ground.
NOTE: Comments can be added here under Window Description. An example note may include further instructions, such as "Wait 72 hours before field work" if the field is recommended to have a pre-seed spray and you want some time to allow the chemical to move through the plant.
4. Priority: Choose the priority of the spray recommendation. Some fields may be more urgent than others.
5. Products: Select "Add Another Product" to begin adding your product recommendations. Choose "Select Product from List" to view all the pre-populated products. Rates associated with each product is tied to each other, so you must select from the dropdown in order to view the associated Rates, Units and Hours Rainfast.
NOTE: If a product is missing, email support@swatmaps.com. Include the product name, recommended rates, units and Hours Rainfast, if known.
6. Continue adding more products if the recommended spray has more than 1 product.
NOTE: It is recommended to add products in a mix in their recommended mixing order, using WALES.
NOTE: Under the Products section, there is an "Add Mix" button. In order for this to populate for the farm, you must go to the Desktop software to add these. Go to Spray Recommendations > Add Mix > Edit Mixes.
When the spray jobs have been added, click "Create Jobs". Sync up. From here, it is recommended you visit the Desktop software to create the pdf spray report. To view and edit this, to go Spray Report on the farm's lefthand side on the desktop. Add the fields that have had spray jobs created, re-arrange the order for fields to be sprayed, etc. To view Product Used totals, click Print and choose "Print Herbicide Used Report". It is recommended to include these totals at the end of a Farm Note, which is used to summarize the field scouting trip, recommended products and suggested spray timings.
