Identified below is a list of records that all suppliers/growers who are supplying Cooperative Retail must keep. (Templates for some of these records can be found in the Fresh Produce Consortiums Code of Practice for the Control of Pesticides. There are also softwear packages available, e.g. in the UK, Muddy Boots and Farmplan.)

Detailed records must be kept for the following:

a) Pesticide recommendations and applications. Appropriate records of all pesticide applications should be made and kept for a minimum of three years.

b) Growers should also keep records of pest incidence and pest modelling information in crop or field diaries.

c) Post harvest treatments.

All records required within this Code of Practice must be made available when requested by Co-operative Retail.
