Adding chemical products in FarmQA

The first step to using FarmQA recommendations is to create a set of products that can be used for recommendation writing. Chemical products can be added to your FarmQA account though 1) a product look-up via an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) integration, 2) a spreadsheet import via FarmQA support, or 3) manually adding products. This article will walk you through all three options.

If you are looking for more general instructions on the recommendation writing process, see this article.
