   (b)  organisms to which a target recommendation applies or target
        recommendations apply, (whether or not the organisms referred to in

        do so.

(3) An agent application in relation to organisms of a particular kind shall
set out-

   (a)  particulars identifying the organisms;

   (b)  particulars of the possible ways in which the applicant considers that
