Select species and methods

The menu with 'SPECIES AND ANALYSIS' opens automatically on the left side of the Certificate.

Select the ‘SPECIES’: Beta vulgaris (coated/uncoated), Glycine max, Lolium perenne, Mixtures (for BIC) or Triticum aestivum subsp. aestivum

Select ‘ANALYSIS’: select one or more combination and the selection will appear on the Certificate.

For the analysis which are not available for the selected species there are two possibilities:

1. If an analysis is not available (according to ISTA Rules) for the selected species - the box 'METHOD NOT APPLICABLE' will open.
2. If an analysis is theoretically possible (according to ISTA Rules) but not introduced yet in this tool, no result will be be displayed.

The corresponding ISTA Rules references are on the right side of the Certificate, in the box ‘ISTA RULES REFERENCES’.
Additional help is available at ‘i’ icons.
