In the VineForecast field index, you can both document plant protection and manage your fertilisation properly (in Germany).
Plant protection 🌱
Document plant protection ✍️
Go to Plot index -> Plant protection and click here on the button Add spraying.
Now enter all the required information in the sidebar. Also note that you can add several agents for one spraying and do not have to carry out documentation for each agent.
Wetting agents and adhesives must be distinguished in the documentation of plant protection products, as they are not subject to documentation. Therefore, these agents are not included in the list of plant protection products in VineForecast. If you still want to add wetting agents and adhesives to your documentation, simply use the "Supplements" field.
If you have made a mistake in the documentation, you can correct it at any time. To do this, simply click on the cogwheel behind the documented spray that you want to adjust. You can now adjust all entries in the sidebar that opens.
If you have a Delete spraying simply click on the rubbish bin icon behind the documented spray that you want to adjust.
