To start the activity, tap the orange (+) button and select the Crop Protection & Fertilizer tile.

If starting the activity from the Farm level, you will be able to select multiple fields at once.

From the Field level, once you select the CP & Fertilizer activity tile, you'll be directed to the product information screen that you see below.

Here you will be able to select from different product types, for this article we will be focusing on fertilizer inputs.

Editors Tip: A cool feature available in Sirrus Mobile is the ability to Customize Job Collection. If there are attributes that your business doesn't utilize when creating jobs, those can be "turned off" so to speak. So they won't be displayed when completing an event. The three dots in the top right of the image below is where you can access this feature.

Another option available to add more products to the fertilizer recommendation by tapping the Add Another button in orange.

When you have completed all of the relevant information fields for the fertilizer job, tap Save in the top right. On the Save page, give the activity a name, select the correct season, enter in any relevant notes and double check the work state, then finally Save completely.
