Application is one part of the sequence.
Purpose and scope
Map the footprint, name the vegetation objective and agree who owns preparation and care.
Define the scope →Ground and materials
Read the seedbed, review the lot and product evidence, and resolve the remaining readiness questions.
Read the ground →Equipment and records
Connect the machine and material instructions to a controlled operation and traceable batch records.
Plan the operation →Observe and care
Adjust care to the actual growth stage and conditions, and investigate concerns before choosing a repair.
Plan establishment →Put numbers on a declared basis
Work through the quantities.
