Yield estimator

What your crop is likely to give in your district, with a band around it rather than a single number.

The middle figure is the published expected yield for that crop and district, carrying its own source and date. It is not a prediction for your field, because your soil, your water and your sowing date matter more than a district average does.

The middle figure is the published expected yield for Banana in Ahmedabad, checked on 2013-12-31. The band around it is a fifth either way, which is roughly what a season swings by. Plan your borrowing against the low end, not the middle.

Your own soil, your water and your sowing date matter more than the district average. The soil card reader and the crop calendar cover both.

Worth knowing

Plan your borrowing against the low end of the band. A season that goes well pays the loan either way. A season that goes badly is the one that has to be survivable.
The band is a fifth either way, which is roughly how much a season swings. Hail, a pest outbreak or a failed irrigation turn can take you outside it.
Your soil card explains more of the gap between you and the district average than anything else. The soil card reader reads it.
Sowing at the right time is worth more than most inputs. The crop calendar has the window for your crop.
