GlobalGAP-Ready Spray Logs: What Auditors Actually Want

For many South African farms, the hardest part of compliance isn’t the spray. It’s the paperwork.

GlobalGAP and export audits typically expect clear, consistent records that answer: What, where, when, how, and under what conditions.

A practical spray-log checklist

- Field/block (mapped boundary or clear identifier)
- Crop + stage
- Product applied (active + concentration)
- Rate + volume
- Operator/pilot details (especially for contracted work)
- Timestamp (start/end)
- Weather context (wind speed, temperature, Delta T)
- Notes (delays, drift risk, re-entry intervals)

Why weather matters

Weather isn’t just “nice to have.” It supports decision-making and can protect you in disputes. A record that includes wind and temperature conditions is far stronger than a record that’s only “sprayed on Tuesday.”

Drone or tractor: the record should look the same

Farms often mix methods: Tractors, drones, and contracted operators. The easiest way to stay compliant is to standardize the log format so every application (no matter the method) produces the same audit-ready output.

AgriLift is being designed around that principle: Consistent logs, automated weather context, and clear job metadata so audits don’t become a seasonal panic.
