Why keeping data?
When observing the crop (IPM plot, FP plot, field experiments) or the insect zoo, we need to record data:
- to keep records of what has happened
- to help us making an analysis and draw conclusions
How to keep data?
- Notebook
- Drawings
What data?
- Plant growth (weekly)
- Height of plant
- Number of leaves
- Crop situation (e.g. for AESA)
- Plant health
- Pests, diseases, weeds
- Natural Enemies
- Soil
- Water
- Weather condition
- Inputs costs (cost/rai)
- Seeds
- Fertilizer
- Pesticides
- Labor
- Harvest
- Yield (kilo/area)
- Price of produce (price/kilo)
