 (2) For a year, green manure residue is only relevant to working out the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for an irrigated cotton project if:
 (a) the green manure crop is planted on an area of land that is a part of the cotton area in the year; and
 (b) the green manure crop is planted prior to the cotton planting in the year; and
 (c) there are no other crops planted between the green manure crop and the cotton planting in the year.
 (3) For a year, synthetic fertiliser is only relevant to working out the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount if the synthetic fertiliser is applied:
 (a) after the harvest of the crop previous to the cotton planting; and
Note: The crop previous to the cotton planting could be a cotton crop, or a crop grown in rotation with cotton.
 (b) before the harvest of the cotton area in the year.
