    fertilising

  • weed control,

  • Click into the data entry box under 'End Date'.

  • Enter the end date of the treatment event (OPTIONAL)

  • Click into the data entry box under 'Description'

  • Enter a description name for the event. (Hint: Make this description as specific as possible. For example "Grow Grass w/Nitrogen Treatment – Improved Pdks - July 2019". The more descriptive you can make this the easier this event will be to locate and identify in the future.)

  • Click on the blue writing for '+Add Paddocks/Pastures'

  • Wait for the pop up box to open.

  • Click on the name of the paddock/pasture to be treated. (To select multiple paddocks/pastures - hold down the control key on your key board and click on the names of the paddocks/pastures)

  • Click on the blue 'add' button.

(To select all paddocks/pastures - click on the blue writing that says "Select All Paddocks/pastures" )

 

Once you have selected your paddocks/pastures they will appear on a list at the bottom of the tab. 

  • Check your list of selected paddocks

  • Change the areas for any paddocks/pastures not being treated completely.

Example: if you are recording the fact that you treated 5 hectares of a 10 hectare paddock/pasture you could type 5 into the data entry box. The number entered in this box will be used to calculate any treatments applied during this event but will not flow through to any other screens.

  • Click on the 'Treatment Details' button.

Entering Paddock/Pasture spray, treatment or fertiliser details

  • If the product already exists in your product inventory, type the product  name into the search by product name box.  When the product becomes visible Click on 'Add' beside the product name.
