- Who applied it
How it works
Three steps. About as long as it takes to say it.
- 1
Say it
Tap record and talk like you normally would: “Sprayed the top paddock with Roundup, two litres a hectare.” Or type it if you’d rather.
- 2
Check it
Sowsay pulls out the product, rate, paddock and time, then highlights anything it’s unsure about so you can fix it in a tap before it’s saved.
- 3
Keep it
Your diary builds itself, filterable by paddock and date, with export for auditors, agronomists and your own peace of mind.
Why records matter
The paperwork nobody enjoys, until someone asks for it.
Fast to find
Records you can pull up quickly
Growsafe and WorkSafe expect records to be readily accessible and easy to understand, so you can show an enforcement officer what was applied, where and how much.
6 basics
The details that count
Growsafe lists product, date and time, amount, location, wind speed and direction, and who applied it as the core of a spray record.

Who it’s for
Made for NZ maize and arable growers.
If you run sprayers and spreaders across paddocks through a busy season, and writing it all up at night is the job that always slips, Sowsay is for you. Contractors who spray for others are welcome too.
- Maize and arable growersHerbicide, fungicide and fertiliser passes across many paddocks.
- Mixed and pasture farmsSpray and fertiliser jobs you need to trace later.
- Spray contractorsA quick record per job, per client, per paddock.
