Estimate total harvest mass from the number of plants and the expected yield of each plant.
| Total yield | – |
Use this calculator to sketch how many kilograms a patch, bed, or field might yield. Enter the number of plants and the expected harvest from each plant. For maize you can treat plants as ears and the per-plant figure as grain per ear.
The calculation is: total yield = number of plants × yield per plant. Yield per plant can be entered in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb); the total is shown in the same mass unit. Use a realistic per-plant figure from last year's harvest or a variety sheet, not a theoretical maximum.
This is a simple product, not a crop model. It does not account for gaps, disease, weather, or harvest losses. A result such as 12.5 kg means the entered plant count times the entered mass each, nothing more.
Number of plants: How many plants you have, or ears if you are doing maize that way.
Yield per plant: Expected harvest mass of one plant (or one ear). Enter the value in kg or lb.
Total yield: Plant count times mass each, in the same unit.
