Morphology

planting + process

The meaning is directly compositional: 'planting' (putting seeds/seedlings into soil) combined with 'process' (a sequence of steps) yields 'the series of steps involved in planting'. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent nominal composition and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Planting process shows the idea: planting is putting seeds or young plants in the ground and process is the steps you follow. So it means 'the steps used to plant seeds or young plants'.
