About and methodology

What is Agrocalcs?

A set of calculators for farmers, technicians and agronomists: liming and fertilization, spraying and planting, machinery costs, irrigation, grains and production cost.

The nine areas

The menus group the calculators into nine areas: Soil and fertilization; Crops and yield; Machines and application; Water and irrigation; Grain and storage; Management and costs; Environment and legislation; Livestock and aquaculture; and Field tools.

How the calculations are validated

Each calculator shows the equations, assumptions and references used (for example, IAC Bulletin 100 for liming and fertilization, FAO-56 for irrigation and ASABE EP496 for machinery). The results are checked against worked examples and against the same water-mass basis used for drying in IndusMetrics. Review by an agronomist is planned before broad release.

Project return

In the cost calculators, the site shows the breakdown by item, the cost per unit produced, and the breakeven point.
