Work in progress!
There a few calculations the system will need to perform in order to support Crops V2.0.
Attribute | Type | Units | Formula | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Total Area | Calculated & overridable | Area | Calculated and overridable when creating / editing a location of type area. | |
Area Used | Calculated | Area | Area_used = Total_Area * %_of_location | |
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. | |
Estimated seed required | Calculated & overridable | Seed / weight | Estimated_seed_required (in weight) = area_used * seeding_rate | |
# of plants | User input | Integer | 1 - 1,000,000 | |
Estimated yield | Calculated & overridable | Weight | For broadcast, row, and bed: Estimated_yield = Total_Area * yield_per_area For containers / individual plants: Estimated_yield = #_of_plants * yield_per_plant | |
