Spray and fertilizer application records software for golf courses

Spray records software replaces the notebook and the spreadsheet with a log that knows your products, your areas, and your rates — so an application is recorded once and flows to inventory, the budget, and the compliance file automatically.

What should a spray record include?

Whatever your state requires, plus what you need to run the operation. In practice that means the date, the product and rate, the area treated and its size, the tank mix, the applicator, weather conditions, and the cost. Most states require pesticide application records with specific fields and retention periods — check your state regulator for the exact rules, since they vary and this page is not legal advice.

The record is only half the value. The other half is what the system does with it: draw the product down from inventory, cost it to the right budget line, and start the clock on how long that chemistry keeps working.

Why does GDD matter in a spray log?

Growing degree days tell you where the turf — and the pests — actually are, which the calendar cannot. TurfDog tracks GDD alongside your applications so you can see what was applied at what point in the season and time the next application by accumulation, not by habit.

What is a residual-protection clock?

When you put down a fungicide or insecticide, it protects for a window — and then it does not. TurfDog's residual-protection clock tracks each completed application's expected coverage and shows which areas are still protected and which have come open. When a disease window is forecast, Bingo can tell you whether you are covered or due.

That turns the spray log from a compliance chore into a planning tool: you spray because the clock and the forecast say so, not because it has been three weeks.

How do tank mixes and inventory work?

Record the mix once — products, rates, water volume — and the system calculates how much of each product came off the shelf. TurfDog draws application products down from inventory automatically, so the on-hand count is real and the purchase order list writes itself when stock runs low.

What are EPA PULA bulletin alerts?

EPA's Pesticide Use Limitation Area (PULA) bulletins add location-specific restrictions for endangered species protection. TurfDog captures the monthly EPA bulletins and alerts you when a limitation area touches your course, so you find out from the system instead of from an inspector.

How do I report to the board or committee?

Because every application carries its products, areas, and costs, the report is a byproduct. TurfDog produces application summaries and cost reports you can hand to the green committee or GM — what was applied, where, why, and what it cost — without a night of spreadsheet work.

What does TurfDog's applications log include?

The applications log and calendar are in the free Crew plan. GDD, the protection clock, PULA alerts, and the SDS tools are on Superintendent and Club. See pricing.
