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 yield | Calculated & overridable | Decimal | Weight | For broadcast: Estimated_yield = Area_used * yield_per_area For rows: Estimated_yield = ((#_of_rows * length_of_rows) / plant_spacing) * yield_per_plant For beds: Estimated_yield = ((#_of_beds * #_of_rows_per_bed * bed_length) / plant_spacing) * yield_per_plant For containers: Estimated_yield = #_of_containers * #_of_plants/container * yield_per_plant For individual plants: Estimated_yield = #_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). |
