Given that in the case of coated seed, the seed is treated with a pesticide, its sowing is considered pesticide application. Therefore, if the weeding was done with an insecticide, the 24-hour reporting obligation in e-GN applies.

When recording, in the field called Propagation material type, the treatment of the seed must be indicated as coated

After that, a new plant protection operation must be created for the given area, in which the data of the herbicide must be entered for the data of the plant protection agent. In the system, it is necessary to indicate the dose and the unit of measurement, which data (as of this year) Hungarian seed distributors must include on the packaging. (In the absence of this, please contact the distributor.) It is not necessary to fill in the fields relating to spray juice.

Farmers with a total area of less than 10 ha must also upload their data to the online Farming Log

They can fulfill the obligation by subsequently uploading the paper-based spraying log until January 31, 2024, or they can even decide to – to simplify the process – keep their spraying log directly on the electronic interface. When using the e-GN, it is advisable to also record the plant protection observations of the production sites, which will also significantly facilitate the submission when the obligation becomes actual.

In order to avoid data service peaks, producers are recommended to keep and upload data continuously. If you have any questions about the operation of the system or the recording of data, please send them to the e-mail address egn@nebih.gov.hu.
