Spray Diary and Re-Entry Register

An editable Excel spray diary and re-entry register for Queensland farms, orchards and turf operations. It works as a chemical spray diary template and pesticide spray record: one row each time a paddock or block is sprayed. Type the label re-entry interval and the sheet works out the date and time workers are excluded until; type the withholding period and it works out the earliest harvest or grazing date. Blocks and Calendar shows, for every block, whether entry is allowed and whether produce can leave it. The Exclusion Log and the Harvest and Grazing Release sheets catch an entry or a release that came too early. It is kept by paddock or block; a register kept by product is a separate record.
