In our Agriculture for Everybody  blog series, we are going to see a Data Oriented Complete Guide to Fruit Crops. I am creating a Fruit Crops Template wherein the very basic information is captured for the particular crop along with its varieties.  This will allow the farmer to understand whether the crops is suitable to him and can focus his energies to deep dive on that particular crop. I am sure many of you will have questions related to this template and I would like to receive them so that the template can be refined for better use.  I request the farming community to provide the data so that the other farmers can benefit from this information.  Also, I am planning to include the Varieties Within a Crop rather than just the overview of the crop.

We will extend the previous blog namely, "Choosing the Right Combination of Crops - Single Harvest & Multiple Harvest Crops" in this blog and understand the difference between them.  The farmers can use this as one more filter (criteria) to choose the right combination of crops. What do I mean by Single (Season) Harvest & Multiple (Season) Harvest Crops? Any crop that provides harvest only for one season is considered Single (Season) Harvest Crop. For eg: Mango A classical example is the Mango Crop which comes to harvest during the summer season and the season may be close to 3 months in time. Please note that we can slightly extend the time period of the Single Season Harvest by choosing the right combination of varieties (where possible).  We have already covered this in our previous blogs. Any crop that provides harvest for more than o...
