Seed Batches

Overview

The Seed Batches section helps you keep track of all your seed lots in one place. Each batch record shows where the seed came from, how much you have in stock, and the results of any quality testing. This makes it easy to see what’s available, how healthy the seed is, and where it can be used.

With Seed Batches, you can:

• Easily trace your seeds from collection to planting.
• Check quality quickly with details like purity, viability, and germination rates.
• Plan ahead by linking batches to seeding polygons and applications.
• Save time by adding batches manually or importing them in bulk from a CSV.

This gives you confidence that the right seeds are in the right place, ready for use in your rehabilitation projects.

3. Add Seed Batch

Allows you to create a new seed batch in TytonIQ.

Mandatory fields are shown in RED when missing.

• Species
• Provenance Zone
• Batch Number
• Supplier
• Quantity Received
• Purchase Cost
• Status

4. Print Seed Batch QR Codes

Generates QR codes for batch labelling.

• QR codes can be printed for all batches or for an individual batch (via the three-dot menu).
• These codes link directly to batch details, making updates possible during Seed Applications.

---

Individual Batch Actions

Selecting the three-dot menu beside a batch provides quick actions:

• Print – Generate a QR code for the specific batch.

• Deactivate – Archive the batch (no longer active for applications).

• Stock Adjust – Modify the stock quantity when discrepancies occur.
  • Enter an Adjusted Quantity and the system will calculate the Difference (or vice-versa).
  • Useful for reconciling physical stock counts against digital records.

---

Usage Scenarios

• Traceability: Maintain a complete record of seed sourcing, testing, and usage.
• Quality Control: Link purity, viability, and germination test results to each batch.
• Inventory Accuracy: Adjust stock in real time as batches are used or audited.
• Field Integration: Use printed QR codes to manage seed batches during seeding operations.
• Regulatory Compliance: Provide auditors with batch-level evidence of provenance and testing.

tip

• Always validate seed batch details before import.
• Link seed batches to correct provenance zones to maintain traceability.
• Enter seed testing results to aid in application decision-making.
• Monitor Stock Alerts regularly to plan reorders in advance.
• Accurately calculate seed requirements for polygons based on seeds per gram.
