SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF EVALUATING CROP MANAGEMENT

摘要

A method of and system for evaluating performance of a plant population in an area of interest is provided. The method includes the steps of receivi ng input data from a user, the input data representative of at least one management parameter in the group consisting of: a total plant population in a selected sampling sub-are a, a spacing of an individual plant relative to a nearest adjacent plant in the sampling sub - area, and a maturity of the individual plant relative to the nearest adjacent plant in t he sampling sub--area. The system analyzes the input data in accordance with a mathematical model having an objective function for predicting a performance of a plant stand represented by a net effective plant population reduced from a benchmark plant population b y deduction factors related to at least one of the management parameters.
