Fruit Crops - A Data Oriented Complete Guide - Work in Progress

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. Hence, while providing the data keep this in mind.

Please note that the current template may be expanded and I have left out many criteria due to lack of space and information and may be incorporated at a later point of time.

The first table (Parameters Template) will contain the parameters filter while the second table (Detailed Template) will contain more details about the crop.

Note: Request readers to help update the parameters of the crops and let me know of any other parameters.

  • Spacing provided here is for the normally accepted standard spacing only and may not cover HD, UHD etc
  • Water Per Tree is the accepted water requirements.  The template may be modified to accomodate water requirements for each year as well in future
  • Avg Yield Per Tree can be in Numbers (Coconuts, Jackfruit etc), Kgs/Tonnes (Mangoes, Sapota etc).  This can be expanded to accomodate Avg Yld Per Tree based on the age of the crop as well in future
  • Last Market Rate is the price that the market has given to the crop
  • Anything that starts with WIP* means Work In Progress. The same will be updated in a future date once the information is available
