2.4.8

Application of agrochemicals is documented



 Examples of the information to be documented on application of agrochemicals include:
  • name of the product applied
  • name of the active ingredient
  • date of application
  • location of the application
  • crop subject to the application
  • reason (pests, weed, nutrients)
  • dosage and volume used Field operators document the application of agrochemicals. In the case of small farmers in a group, the group can be in charge of documentation for all farmers. OaS provide financial or other types of support for documentation in case field operators do not have enough resources. When OaS are responsible for first stage processing in cultivation/collection areas and apply agrochemicals, they are responsible for documentation. The UEBT agrochemicals register can be used to document the application of agrochemicals.

    • DOCUMENTATION

    Documentation recording the application of agrochemicals can be used as evidence to assess compliance. The UEBT agrochemicals register filled out can be used to assess compliance.

    Scoring guidance

    0 - Application of agrochemicals is not documented
    1 - There are limitations to the documentation of agrochemical applications
    2 - Documentation of application of agrochemicals is done by most of field operators and OaS, however it is partial
    3 - Application of agrochemicals is documented by all field operators and OaS and it is complete

    N/A - in the justification, please explain why
