Crop Reports

There are two crop reports, a Crop Summary Report, which only contains a statistical summarization of the individual management rotation year crop data consisting of the mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values and a Crop Detail Report, which also contains the individual management rotation year-by-year crop data results along with the statistical summarization data. Both reports contain the standard simulation run information in its initial header section, including the names of the input files. All crops that are harvested are reported here. This includes any multiply harvested crops like alfalfa, which are reported for each cropping period harvest individually.

The table heading lists the beginning (usually planting date) and the end (harvest date) of the cropping period, the total numbers of days for the period and the name of the crop being harvested. The individual column labels are:

Crop Header

• Column 1 labeled Dry Yield, consists of the crop yield reported on a dry matter basis in lbs/ac (English units) or kg/m² (SI units).
• Column 2 labeled Harvest Residue, consists of the remaining above ground residue reported on a dry matter basis in lbs/ac (English units) or kg/m² (SI units) after the harvest operation.
• Column 3 labeled Rain, consists of the total precipitation received in inches (English units) or mm (SI units) during the crop growing period specified.
• Column 4 labeled Irrig, consists of the total irrigation water applied in inches (English units) or mm (SI units) during the crop growing period specified.
• Column 5 labeled Initial SWC, consists of the initial soil water content in the soil profile reported in inches (English units) or mm (SI units) of water.
• Column 6 labeled Final SWC, consists of the final soil water content in the soil profile reported in inches (English units) or mm (SI units) of water.
• Column 7 labeled SWC Change, consists of the change in soil water content in the soil profile reported in inches (English units) or mm (SI units) of water for the crop growing period specified. A negative value means that the stored soil water amount has decreased during the period. A positive value means that the stored water increased during the period.
• Column 8 labeled Crop Transp, consists of the water transpired through the crop reported in inches (English units) or mm (SI units) of water during the growing period specified.
• Column 9 labeled Yield, consists of the crop yield reported at the water content specified (obtained from the value provided in the crop record) in the units specified (also obtained from the crop record) when English units are used and kg/m² for SI units.
