Total Area

Calculated & overridable

Area

Calculated and overridable when creating / editing a location of type area.

Area Used

Calculated

Area

For broadcast:

Area_used = Total_Area * %_of_location

For beds:

Seeding Rate

From data & overridable

Weight / Area

This is essentially the number of seeds needed to “saturate” a given area. In either kg / ha or lbs / ac.

Yield per area

From data

Weight

Will be given in kg / m^2. May need to be converted to imperial for calculations.

Yield per plant

From data

Weight

Will be given in kg. May need to be converted to imperial for calculations.

Average seed weight

From data

Weight

Will be given in g. May need to be converted to imperial for calculations.

Estimated seed required

Calculated & overridable

Seed / weight or Weight

For broadcast:

Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = area_used * seeding_rate

Estimated_seed_required (in weightseeds) = area_used * seeding_rate * (average_seed_weight * 1000)

For container:

Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = #_of_containers * #_of_plants/container * average_seed_weight * 1000

Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = #_of_containers * #_of_plants/container

For in ground:

Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = #_of_plants * average_seed_weight * 1000

Estimated_seed_required (in seeds) = #_of_plants

For row:

Estimated yield

Calculated & overridable

Weight

For broadcast, row, and bed:

Estimated_yield = TotalArea_Area used * yield_per_area

For rows:

For beds:

For containers:

Estimated_yield = #_of_containers * #_of_plants/container * yield_per_plant

For individual plants:

Estimated_yield = #_of_plants * yield_per_plant
