25 Cotton area
For each year in the emissions intensity reference period and the crediting period, the following parameters must be determined in relation to each field in the cotton area: (a) the area, in hectares;
Note: Project proponents are encouraged to determine the cotton area using the maps produced in accordance with section 8 and paragraph 22(2)(a).
(b) planting density, in kilograms of cotton seed planted per hectare;
Note: The planting density is the total kilograms of seed planted per hectare. Where a cotton crop was planted in several events on the same area, due to, for example, unsatisfactory germination rates in the first planting, project proponents are encouraged to keep records of each planting event to assist in explaining unusual planting densities.
(c) irrigation status.
