See how this FarmPortal update improves PPP reports, treatment printouts, QR Codes and the FarmPortal Worker connection.
In brief
- The “Plant protection product records” report now includes the TERYT plot number and the treatment time.
- Users can now print the PPP records report and agrotechnical treatment reports.
- QR Code generation for product batch passporting has been improved.
- The data connection between FarmPortal and the FarmPortal Worker application has been tested.
What has changed in the PPP records report?
In the “Plant protection product records” report, FarmPortal has added the TERYT plot number and the exact time of treatment. This means the report identifies the location and timing of field work more accurately, which matters during inspections, advisory work and analysis of field history.
The report can now also be printed. It is a small change, but a very practical one. Farmers can prepare documentation more quickly for a discussion with an adviser, raw material buyer, auditor or inspector.
Current as of May 2026: PIORiN states that in 2026 the rules for documenting completed plant protection product treatments remain unchanged compared with previous years. Records must include, among other information, the name of the plant protection product, the time of application, the dose, the treated area, the crop and an indication of how the requirements of integrated pest management have been met.

How does FarmPortal support ARiMR and PIORiN inspections?
FarmPortal has added the option to print agrotechnical treatment reports in line with the documentation needs of farms. Users can print treatments from the register after filtering by field, crop, treatment date or other parameters, as well as directly from the detailed view of a specific field.
In practice, this reduces the need to search for data in multiple places. If a farm runs intensive fruit or vegetable production, the treatment register may cover many operations on different plots, on different dates and under different advisory recommendations. A single, consistent printout shortens document preparation.
The employee file can store information on authorisations, documents and qualifications related to spraying. This has organisational value: the person responsible for the farm can see who holds the required documents and who can be assigned as the operator for specific tasks.
| Function | What has been added | Practical value | Where in FarmPortal |
|---|---|---|---|
| PPP records report | TERYT plot number and treatment time | More precise identification of the location and time of treatment | “Plant protection product records” report |
| PPP records printout | Option to print the report | Faster preparation of documentation for inspections or audits | Reports module |
| Agrotechnical treatment printout | Printing after filtering and from the field view | Easier preparation of a work history for a specific crop or plot | Treatment register and field details |
| Employee file | Information on documents and authorisations | Better control over who is authorised to carry out spraying | Employees module |
What has been improved in QR Codes for product passporting?
QR Code generation for product batch passporting has been improved. Previously, the issue concerned incorrect display of the code size, which could make it harder to print labels and then scan them during harvesting, sorting or raw material intake.
QR Codes in FarmPortal support traceability from field to fork. A code can lead to information about the product batch, field, harvest, workers, crates, delivery and further movement of raw material, which is important for fruit and vegetable producers as well as processors building their own quality standards.
Functions related to field records, treatments, crop monitoring and reports are described in more detail on the FarmPortal farm management functions page. For batch identification and labour settlement processes, it is important that field data does not end up in a notebook, but flows into one system.
Why does the FarmPortal Worker integration matter?
The data connection between FarmPortal and the FarmPortal Worker application has been tested. This is a step towards simpler automation of settlements for seasonal workers, teams and leaders working directly on plantations.
In practice, data collected in the mobile application can support the settlement of working time, piecework, harvests and the assignment of tasks to a specific batch or field. For growers, this means less manual data entry. For processors and advisers, it provides a clearer picture of how a given batch of raw material was produced.
Benefits for farmers, processors and advisers
This update is most practical where a farm needs to connect production, documentation and quality control. Farmers gain a clearer treatment printout, advisers see a consistent field history, and processors can better link a product batch with source data.
For machinery manufacturers and technology partners, this change has additional significance: reports and plot identifiers organise data that may later be linked with telemetry, application maps, sprayer operation or other machine data sources. Records need to be structured first. Only then does automation make sense.
Example use case on a farm
A fruit-growing farm producing apples and soft fruit can use the new PPP records printout to prepare a treatment summary for a specific field before an adviser’s visit or inspection. After filtering by plot and crop, the user prints the treatment history, while the TERYT number and spraying time help reconstruct the sequence of work clearly. The key interpretative limitation remains the quality of input data: the report is only as accurate as the records entered by users in the system.
FAQ
Does FarmPortal replace the obligation to keep plant protection product records?
FarmPortal supports the keeping of plant protection product records, but responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of the data remains with the farm user. The system organises information on treatments, fields, plots, crops, doses and treatment times, making it easier to prepare documentation for an inspection or audit.
Can the report be printed for an ARiMR or PIORiN inspection?
Yes. This update adds the option to print the PPP records report and agrotechnical treatment reports. Users can prepare a summary using filters, for example by field, crop or date, and can also print the treatment history from the detailed view of a specific field.
Why does the report include the TERYT plot number?
The TERYT plot number helps link a treatment clearly to the place where the work was carried out. This is useful for farms with many fields, leases, crops or quarters, because the field name alone may not be sufficient during inspections, advisory work or production history analysis.
How does a QR Code support product batch traceability?
A QR Code can link a product batch with information about the field, harvest, crates, workers and further movement of raw material. After the code generation improvement, it is easier to prepare labels for printing and scanning on the farm, in the sorting facility or during intake by a processor.
Does FarmPortal Worker operate as a separate application?
FarmPortal Worker is a dedicated application supporting foremen, team leaders and people responsible for labour settlement on plantations. The tested data connection with FarmPortal is important for automating the settlement of working time, piecework, harvests and the assignment of work to fields or batches.
Summary
This FarmPortal update organises documentation in the areas where users most often need a quick and reliable report: PPP records, agrotechnical treatments, employee authorisation control, product batch passporting and labour settlement on plantations.
The most important change is simple: reports are becoming more operational. They are easier to filter, print and combine with data that matters for farm management, advisory work, raw material quality and traceability.
