Points for discussion

Better definition required. is this measurement of the host plant being sampled for sequencing? is it meant to contain the method of measurement as well as the value?

How about two fields: one for measurement and one for method. Similar to those in soil package

@only1chunts, yes this term refers to the photosynthetic activity of the host plant being sampled for sequencing. We 100% support the idea switching to 2 fields (one for measurement and one for method) as suggested by @pyilmaz

As agreed above, I have created another term for the method and assigned a unique MIXS ID, the two terms listed below are now included in the Ag package, and added to the Changes log.
