Seedling Request Screen -- Fields to Know About
The Seedling Request screen is very long so the descriptions
have been divided into 5 sections based on the similarity of content added to the screen. The following list will help you understand
how each set of information will be used.
1.Administrative used to identify the Request
Agency and funding source.
2.Tenure used to identify management unit information.
3.Planting Site used to confirm suitable Seedlots
or Vegetative Lots are ordered.
4.Sowing Details used to identify the amount
and type of seedlings you are requesting.
5.Additional Criteria used to get information
about a specific lot, this information is optional.
For each of these 5 sections we have included an excerpt of the
screen to help you explain rules related to the fields.

entered into SPAR.

request. See the Request Tips and Troubleshooting section for a detailed
