Fungicide AI rates are unclear #3

See: https://github.com/openplantpathology/Mungbean_PM/blob/Adam/data/1902%20powdery%20mildew-Mungbean%20-%20Collated%20means.csv

I've split the Fungicide column into two cols, dose_ai_f1_g.ha and dose_ai_f2_g.ha so that we can have them properly formatted as double in R.

However, several of the rows, e.g., 87, 88, 95, 96, for dual mode-of-action fungicides only list one rate. This is inconsistent with other rows that correctly state the rate for both AIs.

The rate for fungicide AIs needs to be added for all fungicides. This is assuming we have the rate in the records.

We can add the dose for the second AI. I originally incorporated dose as a check, to identify if different Fungicide brands had been applied at different doses. As all doses were the same (or very similar) and fungicides with a second AI were not trialled from multiple manufacturers, I did not see the reason to incorporate the second AI they were the same ratio and if we were not using it in an analysis.

Suggest removal of the columns in that case. We're not using them and it would just be label rate if we need it.
