Click the Add Crop Type button.

The Crop Type screen will appear where you can enter the details about the new crop type.

Fields appearing in pink are mandatory, and must be entered:

Note: The lbs/bu value cannot be changed after clicking save. Ensure this value is correct before saving the new crop type.

Target Plant Density: Enter the targeted number of plant population.
Target Plant Density Units: Select a valid plant density unit from the drop down. (Per.sq.ft or Per.sq.m)
Expected Mortality: Enter the expected mortality percentage rate.

Note: The Plant Density and Expected Mortality will be used in the seeding rate calculator in the absence of lab results on inventory lots.

Active: This checkbox specifies if the crop type is active or not. By default it will be set to active.
