planting of male and female plants
Explanation:
I think this is about growing crops that need both male and female plants. Many crops need both in order to fruit, and so a schedule or programme is necessary to synchronise flowering.

Corn, for example:
You may know that corn is a dioecious plant meaning that it has both male and female reproductive parts. In seed corn, the corn plant is divided into male and female seed before it is planted. Seed corn gets planted usually 1 male for every 4 female plants or 2 male for every 4 female in a research operation. Many times either the male or the female is planted first, and then after the corn has reached a certain growth stage the other is then planted. This is done to ensure that the corn gets pollinated at the right time.

Sunflowers:
In order to achieve better synchronization between parental lines and also to obtain maximum seed set per cent and hybrid seed yield, male parent has to be sown late with two staggered sowings i.e., 5th, and 6th days after sowing of female line with a proportion of 60:40 respectively.

agree  John Speese: I was thinking the same thing, Marie. That's why I asked what crop they're talking about.
1 hr
  -> Thank you, John. Yes, knowing the crop would be useful. The fact that it puts dates for planting male and female makes me think it's to do with coordinating pollination.

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: For sure. BTW, the sexing of plants can become very complicated.
