1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers production of cleaned and size-graded sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris var. altissima) reproductive material that is suitable for sowing and handed off at the farm gate. It covers either a direct-seeded seed-to-seed route or a steckling production and transplant route; parent establishment, vernalization or overwintering, isolation, parent-line management, pollination, harvest, stabilization, threshing, dry cleaning, size grading, lot testing and release are included.

Commercial root production and buyer planting are excluded. Washing, polishing, dehulling beyond ordinary dry cleaning, priming, coating, pelleting and chemical seed treatment are downstream and excluded. A dataset may not claim these treated states under this PCR.

excluded_products	Sugar beet roots; fodder beet or vegetable beet seed; buyer planting services; washed, polished, primed, coated, pelleted or chemically treated seed
representative_product	Cleaned seed-grade sugar beet seed

market_state	Seed-grade, cleaned for sowing; dry, size-graded, untreated and traceable by lot

The managed-production parent is sugar beet reproductive production. The direct-seeded route carries parents across overwintering in the production field; the steckling route produces, selects, vernalizes and transplants roots before reproductive production. These routes change topology, period records and transfer flows and are mutually exclusive within one foreground package. Supplemental forced-air stabilization and equipment configuration are technology choices under the harvest or conditioning parent activities and may coexist only when separately metered.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`allocation_phase_linkage`	multi-period campaign	Attribute first-period establishment/vernalization and second-period reproductive burdens once to the resulting lot using traceable field and crop-year links; do not duplicate burdens across annual datasets.	`cfia-sugar-beet-biology`
`allocation_parent_routes`	route alternatives	Direct-seeded and steckling routes are mutually exclusive. Do not average both unless a production-weighted aggregate reports each route separately before aggregation.	`cfia-sugar-beet-biology`
`allocation_intended_outputs`	accepted and downgraded seed	Treat accepted seed and any intentionally marketed downgraded viable seed as the complete intended output set. Prefer physical mass allocation when subdivision cannot avoid shared burdens; disclose prices and sensitivity if economic allocation is used.
`allocation_residue_waste`	parent biomass, field residue, chaff and rejects	Treat material without intended product hand-off as residue or waste; do not assign avoided burden without a documented recovery function and destination.
`allocation_rework`	re-cleaned or re-graded seed	Return rework to the producing lot, retain its processing burdens once, and exclude it from accepted output until it passes release criteria.
`allocation_batch_shared`	shared runs and changeovers	Allocate metered run inputs by causal record or processed mass and assign changeover residues to the affected runs once; never count a shared run at two nodes.

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Inventory completeness: conditional named cards are examples of individual exchanges, not an exhaustive recipe or a requirement to use those products. Before completing a foreground package, enumerate every actual planting stock, nutrient, crop-protection formulation, asset material, operating service, carrier, packaging material, waste stream and applicable elementary substance separately, using its physical identity, state, native property/unit, origin or receiving compartment, and measured or method-calculated quantity. Missing identity or quantity remains a completeness gap, never an assumed zero. Preserve the actual lot and phase basis; do not sum intermediate transfers as additional final output or duplicate burdens included in purchased services.

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.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
`calc_reference_normalization`	all rows	row quantity / accepted released lot mass × 1,000 kg	measured row quantity; accepted lot mass	normalized row amount	`mass-balance-identity`
`calc_phase_attribution`	first and reproductive periods	sum uniquely linked operations across all phases of the lot before normalization	field id; crop year; route; lot id; quantities	full-campaign inventory	`cfia-sugar-beet-biology`
`calc_mass_balance`	each material node	received mass = accepted transfers + downgraded + rejected + residue + samples + measured/calculated loss, within uncertainty	node mass records	closure and unexplained difference	`mass-balance-identity`
`calc_managed_soil_emissions`	field phases	apply the declared current method separately to recorded nutrient and residue inputs; retain substance and receiving medium	nutrient and residue records; method factors	substance-specific elementary flows
`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_parent_phase`; `cp_reproductive_phase`; species-specific activity ledger, method pathway and factor basis, matched accepted output	Identity-specific exchanges and reconciled activity records

Environmental Coverage Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
`calc_managed_land_coverage`	actual managed-production nodes	For each actual owned managed-production site, collect the occupied area and dated occupation intervals, including attributable establishment/immature and production periods. Occupation is area multiplied by actual duration, converted explicitly to the selected area-time unit (1 ha = 10,000 m2; time in years); hectares per crop-cycle alone are not an area-time result without duration. Partition or take the union of overlapping establishment/management intervals so the same area-time is counted once, with shares across actual co-users summing to one. Record evidenced land transformation separately by actual from/to land class, event area and date under the declared land-use method; transformation has area units and is not added to occupation. Planting, continued occupation or missing prior-land data do not establish a transformation or zero transformation. Preserve actual historical-event attribution and carbon-stock/emission method coverage where applicable; no invented land conversion or generic carbon credit. Instantiate separate compatible elementary identities with verified UUIDs or explicit unresolved identities; attribute once and normalize to the matched final reference. Purchased completed biological inputs inherit compatible upstream land coverage once instead of duplicating it locally. Missing applicable land identity, area, duration or prior-state evidence remains a completeness gap; documented no transformation is a valid absence.	cp_phase1_environment_coverage	attributed native environmental quantities per matched final reference
