1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR guides a foreground data package for fresh, whole, and unprocessed carrots and turnips. The default boundary runs from preparation of the declared field, bed, or protected unit and sowing through crop management, irrigation, nutrient and crop-protection inputs, harvest, optional de-soiling and washing, grading, cooling, primary packing, and the declared farm-gate or pack-house hand-off. Young or mature roots may be delivered when the crop, variety, maturity, root state, grade, washing state, and gate are disclosed.

Seed production, nursery production, processed, cut, canned, frozen, pickled, dried, juiced, retail, consumer-storage, and consumer-use products are outside the default scope. Potatoes, beets, radishes, and other root vegetables require their own product-category treatment. Durable irrigation or protected-cultivation infrastructure, machinery manufacture, land-use change, and post-gate transport are excluded unless separately attributed and disclosed. Field residues, culls, rejects, wash wastewater, removed soil, and packaging waste remain in the foreground until their declared fate or hand-off is recorded.

Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	crop (carrot or turnip) and variety; CPC 01251 basis; production geography; production year and crop cycle; open-field or protected route; sowing and harvest dates; young or mature state; root, size, grade, and moisture state; irrigated or rain-fed status; nutrient products and nutrient basis; crop-protection program; washing, cooling, and packaging state; destinations of marketable, cull, reject, residue, wastewater, removed-soil, and packaging-waste streams; declared gate

Binding: parameterized

For a matching carrot route only, the verified Carrot UUID 050a9dc0-7d9a-49da-9ad3-1892d880cdc7 may be selected with its actual state and gate. Turnips require their own verified identity. Do not represent a crop mixture by the carrot flow; keep distinct outputs and explicit aggregation.

When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in Required qualifiers must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, the reference-flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data-package field.

The reference identity must cover the actual species, unprocessed state and producer handoff declared by this PCR. Independently verify the concrete identity before generating a final exchange; an identity limited to one root crop or an industrial ingredient input cannot stand for this reference product.

Urea fertilizer (`root_crop_management_agricultural_nutrient_inputs_urea`)

Collection scope and applicability for root_crop_management_agricultural_nutrient_inputs. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Collect each fertilizer product separately. Preserve each actual product identity, quantity, formulation, nutrient composition, application event, and allocation; do not count a compound product more than once. Raw activity or stage basis: per 1,000 kg marketable fresh root output.

Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility. Count physical product mass once and retain moisture, N/P/K composition and application events; nutrient quantities are calculated attributes, not additional purchases of the same product. Give unlisted compound and organic fertilizers separate cards identified by formulation or feedstock.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`allocation_same_crop_and_route`	multiple fields, cultivars, sites, or routes	Keep records separate through normalization. If aggregation is necessary, allocate shared inputs by documented area-time, operating time, water delivered, throughput, or mass.	`iso-14044-2006`
`allocation_marketable_and_off_grade`	marketable roots and declared secondary streams	Use mass allocation when culls or downgraded roots have a documented product recipient and function. If discarded, returned, or treated, model the destination instead of assigning a co-product credit.	`iso-14044-2006`; `mass-balance-identity`
`allocation_shared_water_and_energy`	shared irrigation, washing, cooling, or equipment records	Allocate shared utilities by measured water, product mass, batch time, or operating time and state the selected basis.	`fao-crop-evapotranspiration-56`; `fao-postharvest-handling-vegetables`
`allocation_reusable_packaging`	reusable crates, bins, and pallets	Allocate packaging production and replacement over verified service cycles and assign losses to the route where they occur. Do not spread a single-use item over undocumented cycles.	`fao-postharvest-handling-vegetables`
`allocation_residue_destination`	residues and rejects with different fates	Preserve destination-specific rows. Field return, compost, feed, treatment, and disposal are separate pathways and are not interchangeable co-products.	`fao-gap-framework-2003`; `iso-14044-2006`

Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness.

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Specific input identification before dataset completion

Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default.

requirement_id	collection_protocol_id	Preserved collection scope
`crop_protection_input_specific_input`	`cp_crop_protection_records`	Operation root_crop_management: Record each herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, biological control, or other crop-protection product applied to the crop, retaining active substance and formulation. Original quantity method: Sum product quantity by active substance, formulation, site, and treatment event; do not infer product identity from a generic pesticide total.
`primary_flexible_packaging_specific_input`	`cp_packaging_records`	Operation harvest_and_gate_preparation: Record bags, film, or other flexible primary packaging applied before the declared gate. Packaging is conditional and is reported only when used. Original quantity method: Use packaging issue records by material, batch, and declared reuse or disposal state.
`reusable_crate_packaging_specific_input`	`cp_packaging_records`	Operation harvest_and_gate_preparation: Record reusable crates, bins, or pallets used before the declared gate, including material, mass, verified service cycles, and losses. Original quantity method: Use issue records and verified service cycles; allocate replacement over documented cycles and record losses separately.

Retain raw site, lot, cycle and stage quantities and denominators in each collection protocol. Reconcile stocks, losses, moisture and co-product attribution first, then normalize: normalized exchange = attributable raw exchange × declared reference quantity / accepted hand-off product quantity on the same boundary and measurement basis. Apply perennial-establishment and shared-operation attribution before this normalization. Never set an internal-transfer quantity equal to the final reference quantity. Per declared reference flow means the amount, unit and product state in section 3; the data package must declare its actual route and gate.

Use documented active-substance application and the declared fate method; do not convert a generic product total without composition. This is a mandatory emission-identification requirement, not an aggregate elementary exchange. Identify every applicable substance and actual receiving compartment separately, with compatible units, measured activity or justified calculation method, parameter applicability and uncertainty. Preserve the original operation, period, allocation and final-reference normalization.

A genuinely external reclaimed-water receipt is an external inflow. Retain liquid discharge separately from its dry solids/pollutant masses. Prefer measured discharge and use the balance as reconciliation; missing components or unexplained residuals are gaps, not automatic wastewater, evaporation or zero.	water input; reuse; discharge; balance terms	wastewater volume	`fao-postharvest-handling-vegetables`; `mass-balance-identity`

`calc_pregate_transport`	pre-gate transport service	`transport service = transported mass (t) × documented distance (km)`; state return or empty-leg treatment.	mass; distance; route; load	t*km	`fao-gap-framework-2003`
`calc_reference_mass_reconciliation`	harvest and gate preparation	`harvested mass = marketable output + culls and rejects + residues + field and handling losses`, with moisture and tare treatment disclosed.	harvest weights; grade; residues; losses	reconciled crop-cycle mass balance	`mass-balance-identity`
`chemical_species_mass_accounting`	`elementary_nutrient_emissions`	Final elementary exchanges use the mass of the identified substance and one actual receiving compartment. Keep nutrient/activity ledgers separate: species-specific N2O-N × 44/28 gives N2O, NH3-N × 17/14 gives NH3, nitrate-N × 62/14 gives nitrate, and phosphate-P × 95/31 gives phosphate. If the selected flow is elemental phosphorus instead, report kg P and convert phosphate mass by 31/95 only when that species basis is evidenced. Apply a conversion exactly once only when the method output is on the elemental basis; measured compound mass is not reconverted. Total nutrient losses cannot be assigned to a single species without a supported split, and residual/retained soil nutrient is not an emission. Keep direct/indirect pathway ledgers and avoid repeating a pathway already included in the chosen method or upstream inventory. Factor uncertainty ranges screen factors on their stated basis, not final compound amounts or admissible site emissions. Normalize the attributable compound mass once using the accepted reference quantity and the matched measured output. Unknown activity, identity or compartment remains an evidence gap and blocks a completeness claim.	`cp_managed_soil_emission_records`; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted output	Identity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`validation_reference_identity`	reference flow	The dataset must identify one fresh, whole, unprocessed carrot or turnip product at the declared gate. An identity evidence gap remains a coverage issue and cannot be silently replaced by another root vegetable.	`mass-balance-identity`

`validation_crop_scope`	product category identity	Carrots and turnips must remain within CPC 01251; seed production, processed products, and other root crops require separate treatment or mapping.	`fao-gap-framework-2003`
`validation_nutrient_non_double_counting`	nutrient inputs	One compound product is recorded once on the product basis and, when required, converted to documented nutrient equivalents without summing it as separate N, P, and K products.	`fao-gap-framework-2003`
`validation_water_balance`	irrigation, withdrawal, washing, and wastewater	Check source withdrawal, delivered water, reuse, evaporation, and discharge for the declared route. Do not use rainfall to close a metered irrigation row.	`fao-crop-evapotranspiration-56`; `mass-balance-identity`

`validation_boundary_hand_off`	conditioning and transport	Washing, grading, cooling, packaging, treatment, and transport are included only when they occur before the declared gate; post-gate distribution is excluded.	`fao-postharvest-handling-vegetables`; `codex-cxc-53-2003-fresh-produce`
`validation_emission_method`	elementary emissions	Each emission row must state substance, compartment, method, factor basis, and whether an upstream dataset already contains the burden.	`ipcc-2019-refinement-managed-soils`; `ipcc-2006-guidelines-agriculture`
`validation_parameterized_identity_resolution`	parameterized rows and reference flow	During foreground dataset construction, resolve each parameterized row to a compatible UUID and retain property, unit, geography, and intended-use checks. Uncovered rows remain unmapped until evidence supports a fixed identity.	`mass-balance-identity`
`validation_quality_disclosure`	published dataset profile	Report temporal, geographic, route, measurement, estimate, allocation, residue-fate, and evidence gap-identity limitations before downstream use.	`iso-14044-2006`

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	Foreground production dataset for fresh whole carrots and turnips at farm gate

allowed_use	Farm-gate LCA of the declared CPC 01251 product; comparative use only when crop, grade, moisture, route, and allocation are compatible
excluded_use	Other root vegetables, seed or processed products; unqualified cross-crop substitution; datasets with evidence gap mass-balance, destination, or identity gaps
required_metadata	Crop and variety; CPC basis; geography; production year and cycle; route; area; irrigation and withdrawal; nutrient basis; crop protection; harvest and grade; root state and moisture; residue, cull, wastewater, soil-solid, and packaging destinations; gate; UUID resolution status
required_quality_disclosure	Source and measurement method; temporal and geographic representativeness; crop and route composition; estimated or missing values; nutrient, water, energy, and emission-factor basis; allocation decision; residue, wastewater, soil-solid, and packaging destinations; parameterized-flow UUID resolution; uncertainty and range treatment
update_trigger	Change in CPC interpretation, product boundary, crop or route scope, gate state, boundary or allocation method, concrete flow identity verification

Evidence applicability: cited general farm-record and postharvest frameworks do not supply crop-specific yields, lifetimes, gate cutoffs or LCA allocation defaults. Those are this PCR methodology decisions; qualify them by the actual species, route and period and obtain compatible agronomic evidence before asserting completeness. Provisional author ranges are screening aids, not empirical acceptance limits or substituted measurements.

System boundary rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_declared_crop_cycle`	establishment through final harvest	Include field or protected-site preparation, planting, crop management, harvest, and pre-gate conditioning belonging to the declared carrot or turnip crop cycle.	fao-gap-framework-2003
`boundary_farm_gate`	conditioning and hand-off	End the default foreground boundary at the declared farm-gate or pack-house hand-off. Include washing, grading, cooling, primary packaging, and pre-gate transport only when they occur before that hand-off.	fao-postharvest-handling-vegetables, codex-cxc-53-2003-fresh-produce
`boundary_route_and_infrastructure`	open-field or protected route	Disclose the route and include route-specific energy, water, consumables, and shared infrastructure services when assigned to the declared cycle.	fao-gap-framework-2003
`boundary_managed_soils`	nutrient, amendment, residue, and soil flows	Include direct and indirect managed-soil emissions attributable to nutrients and returned residues under one declared method. Do not double count burdens already present in upstream datasets.	ipcc-2019-refinement-managed-soils, ipcc-2006-guidelines-agriculture
`boundary_residue_and_reject_fate`	culls, residues, wastewater, and packaging waste	Record the first destination of every non-marketable stream: field return, compost, feed, treatment, disposal, or another documented use. An unreported destination is a data-quality gap.	fao-gap-framework-2003, mass-balance-identity

Allocation rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_same_crop_and_route`	multiple fields, cultivars, sites, or routes	Keep records separate through normalization. If aggregation is necessary, allocate shared inputs by documented area-time, operating time, water delivered, throughput, or mass.	iso-14044-2006
`allocation_marketable_and_off_grade`	marketable roots and declared secondary streams	Use mass allocation when culls or downgraded roots have a documented product recipient and function. If discarded, returned, or treated, model the destination instead of assigning a co-product credit.	iso-14044-2006, mass-balance-identity
`allocation_shared_water_and_energy`	shared irrigation, washing, cooling, or equipment records	Allocate shared utilities by measured water, product mass, batch time, or operating time and state the selected basis.	fao-crop-evapotranspiration-56, fao-postharvest-handling-vegetables
`allocation_reusable_packaging`	reusable crates, bins, and pallets	Allocate packaging production and replacement over verified service cycles and assign losses to the route where they occur. Do not spread a single-use item over undocumented cycles.	fao-postharvest-handling-vegetables
`allocation_residue_destination`	residues and rejects with different fates	Preserve destination-specific rows. Field return, compost, feed, treatment, and disposal are separate pathways and are not interchangeable co-products.	fao-gap-framework-2003, iso-14044-2006
`allocation_rule_6`	foreground_burden_allocation	Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness.
