An Australian SprayWise Decisions alternative
SprayWise is gone. The traffic lights live on.
Nufarm's SprayWise Decisions was the industry's traffic-light spray planner until it shut down in 2024, and the operators who relied on it lost their morning check. CropWindow picks up that job — the same red, amber, green language, matched against your own limits, for every weather-bound job on the place.

Credit where it's due
SprayWise Decisions earned its spot in the morning routine. It took the spray-conditions guesswork — wind, Delta T, inversion risk — and turned it into a colour you could act on. When it went, nothing official replaced it. CropWindow was built on a working farm at Humevale by someone who felt that gap on spray mornings, not by a marketing department.
Side by side
What SprayWise did, and where CropWindow takes it

| The call | Traffic-light spray windows | Traffic lights, plus a tap-open "why" with every reason |
| Thresholds | Built-in industry guidance | Your own limits per job — every number editable |
| Detail | Spray windows | Hour-by-hour windows matched against your thresholds |
| Jobs | Spraying | Every weather-bound job — spraying, hay, sowing, spreading, fencing and more |
| Where it runs | Web | Android app, works offline once synced — offline you see the last synced calls and how old the forecast is; treat anything more than a few hours old as a plan, not a green light |
| Units and place | Australian, metric | Australian, metric — that doesn't change |
| Status | Shut down in 2024 | Free early access, working paddocks now |
What carries over
You already speak the language
A generation of sprayers learned red, amber, green from SprayWise, and that language was worth keeping. In CropWindow the colours mean the same thing they always did — go, think hard, hold off — except now they're computed against the limits you set, hour by hour, and each one will tell you its reasons. Delta T, wind at boom height, rainfast, inversion risk: the trade's words, doing the trade's work.
Early access, said plainly
CropWindow is young. It's free while it earns its place, it's Android only for now, and the download is a direct APK while we earn a Play Store listing. No testimonials on this site, no user counts — when a number appears here, it's real. And on the big calls: this is guidance. The label is the law, and the final decision at the boom stays yours.
