etablering

English translation: establishment

Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Science - Agriculture / Horticulture
Norwegian term or phrase: etablering
Bruksområde:
1) Før oppspiring, før etablering eller etter høsting av alle kulturer.

I cannot understand if 'etablering' refers to the planting of the cultivation, i.e., establishing the cultivation, or refers to when the cultivation has become established, i.e., ripe/mature.

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
The following explanation is taken from Wikipedia

"Seedling establishment
In some definitions, the appearance of the radicle marks the end of germination and the beginning of "establishment", a period that ends when the seedling has exhausted the food reserves stored in the seed. Germination and establishment as an independent organism are critical phases in the life of a plant when they are the most vulnerable to injury, disease, and water stress.[2] The germination index can be used as an indicator of phytotoxicity in soils. The mortality between dispersal of seeds and completion of establishment can be so high that many species have adapted to produce huge numbers of seeds."

Google "germination + establishment" for a lot more sources of information
