Treatments and Care

Taking care of your crops and fields is extremely important! The plants don't take care of themselves! You'll likely want to record what you do to the fields and crops to have records of different things applied. This can help you trace things for certifications, but can also help you know what worked, and what needs some tweaking for next season. You can record treatments on indivdiual plantings or grow locations, so whether you fertilize the whole bed and field, or apply insecticide to a single planting where you spotted aphids, Farmbrite has you covered. You can also add those treatments in bulk by selecting multiple plantings in a field as well. When you record a treatment you'll choose what you did, including things like irrigation, tilling, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, mite and mildew remedies, and more. You can then select how much you applied of what product, and even remove it from your inventory at the same time. You can also create custom fields for treatments, so if you don't see the field you need for your unique data, go ahead and make one! The treatments also track withdrawal date and retreat dates, automatically alerting you and creating tasks. You'll have reports for all of this data as well!
