Attribute | Type | Units | Measure | Formula | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Area Used | Calculated | Decimal | Area | For broadcast: Area_used = Total_Area * %_of_location | Unit from Total_Area (e.g. Ha, Ac, etc.) should be maintained. |
Estimated seed required | Calculated & overridable | Seed (Integer) or Weight (Decimal) | Seed or Weight | For broadcast: Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = area_used * seeding_rate Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = area_used * seeding_rate * average_seed_weight For container: Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = #_of_containers * #_of_plants/container * average_seed_weight Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = #_of_containers * #_of_plants/container For in ground: Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = #_of_plants * average_seed_weight Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = #_of_plants For rows (same length rows): Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = ((#_of_rows * length_of_rows) / plant_spacing) * average_seed_weight Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = ((#_of_rows * length_of_rows) / plant_spacing) For rows (variable length rows): Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = ((Total_length_of_rows) / plant_spacing) * average_seed_weight Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = ((Total_length_of_rows) / plant_spacing) For beds: Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = ((#_of_beds * #_of_rows_per_bed * bed_length) / plant_spacing) * average_seed_weight Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = ((#_of_beds * #_of_rows_per_bed * bed_length) / plant_spacing) | Estimated seed required can be displayed in either weight or seeds. The weight will be a standard weight unit (e.g. kg, lbs) and seeds will be its own unit. Weight will display to two decimal places beyond the decimal. Seeds will be whole numbers (ceiling). For both cases, you will need to ensure that the variables are converted to the desired output (e.g. g → kg). |
Estimated annual yieldharvest | Calculated & overridable | Decimal | Weight | For broadcast: Estimated_yield harvest = Area_used * yield_per_area For rows: Estimated_yield harvest = ((#_of_rows * length_of_rows) / plant_spacing) * yield_per_plant For beds: Estimated_yield harvest = ((#_of_beds * #_of_rows_per_bed * bed_length) / plant_spacing) * yield_per_plant For containers: Estimated_yield harvest = #_of_containers * #_of_plants/container * yield_per_plant For individual plants: Estimated_yield harvest = #_of_plants * yield_per_plant | For all cases, may need to convert from one unit system to another (e.g. cm → in) and/or normalize for a unit (e.g. ft → in). In general, yield is a per area measurement - typically tons per hectare. This is what is documented on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BoY6mEU1om14oc799m7XK9FCemxzrF406eie4V-5ozc/edit?usp=sharing However, since many of our producers are not growing hectares of crops, we’ll display this as a “Estimated annual harvest” to distinguish that it is an overall value, not a per area value. |
