Crop Growth Rate Calculation in Agriculture

The document outlines the methodology for calculating Crop Growth Rate (CGR) and shelling percentage in agricultural experiments. It provides formulas for CGR and shelling percentage, emphasizing the importance of measuring dry weights of plant parts and pod weights. Additionally, it mentions the calculation of harvest index based on economic kernel weight and pod weight data collected from net plots.

production of crop community per unit land area over a certain period of time will be calculated
by the following formula and expressed in g m-2 day-1. CGR = [(W2 – W1)/(t2 – t1)] where,
W1 and W2 were the dry weights of plant parts per unit land area at times t1 and t2, respectively.
As post-harvest observations average pod dry weights per plant in gram and shelling% following
the formula i.e. kernel weight) will be recorded. Crop Growth Rate (CGR) i.e the total dry matter
production of crop community per unit land area over a certain period of time will be calculated
by the following formula and expressed in g m-2 day-1. CGR = [(W2 – W1)/(t2 – t1)] where,
W1 and W2 were the dry weights of plant parts per unit land area at times t1 and t2, respectively.
As post-harvest observations average pod dry weights per plant in gram and shelling% following
the formula i.e. Shelling (%) = [{Total weight of kernel (g)/ Total weight of seed pod (g)} × 100]
will be recorded in treatment wise in both the experiments and in all seasons. Net plots will be
harvested separately and after harvesting the weight of pods will be recorded and converted it
into kg ha–1 basis. Then harvest index will be calculated from the following formula: Harvest
index (%) = [(Economic kernel weight) will be recorded. Crop Growth Rate (CGR) i.e the total
