Plant Health Technologies (PHT), the proprietary products division of Simplot Growers Solutions (SGS), launched an innovative application for iPhone and Android smartphones customized for crop advisors, applicators, and growers.

Spray Guide, developed in cooperation with Precision Laboratories and Simplot, is an app that can quickly and accurately identify the ideal mixing order of crop protection products. It’s the first of its kind designed to help users with the proper tank mixing sequence and to conveniently maintain accurate spray logs for easy record keeping.

Determining the proper mixing sequence of crop protection can be complicated, but Spray Guide provides an innovative solution. The application streamlines the process of mixing, spraying and record keeping. Users can use their handheld devices to instantly document and share data on products sprayed, location, and weather conditions.

The spray log features a stopwatch to record start and stop times as well as total spraying times. The app has other valuable features, such as a weather integration to help reduce spray drift risks by relaying and capturing weather conditions prior to spraying.

Training for the Spray Guide and the app itself will be available to the more than 250 crop advisors and managers at SGS. “It’s quick and intuitive,” said Nelson. “This is an innovation that will help create value for our business and make the crop advisors’ job a little easier.”

Spray Guide is available to download for free at Google’s Android Market, Apple’s App Store (Tip: search for Simplot).
