Creating Crop Templates

Although Overyield contains 50+ available public templates, some crops are unavailable within the app. If you can’t find the crop you’re looking for, you can create a crop template from scratch.

To create a new crop template:

1. First navigate to the appropriate screen. Crop templates can be created:
   • Within individual projects, under Economics → Farm Data → Crops.
   • Via your Teams Menu (Homescreen → Teams → Crop Templates.
     • This creates a Team Template, visible across all team projects.
2. Next, click New Template +.
3. Within the new template, fill in your initial Crop Settings.
4. Click Save. From here, you will be redirected to your list of templates, with your new template added at the bottom.
5. Click on the new template to view its details and enter any advanced crop data within the Operations, Revenue, Loss Events, and Carbon data sections.

Crop Settings

Your Crop Settings are specified during the initial creation of your template, but can be altered at any time. The Crop Settings section contains all the most basic agronomic data for your crop, such as yield and spacing data.

• Name
  • Template Name may include the crop name, as well as any other important identifying information distinguishing it from other templates (e.g. variety name, region, organic vs. conventional, market, etc.)
• Growing Zones
  • Select the growing zones where this species can grow successfully.
    • The template will only be visible to projects in corresponding growing zones.
• Between Row Spacing & In Row Spacing
  • Spacing parameters determine the relative positioning of plants within a Section.
• Unit Cost
  • Unit Cost refers to nursery cost on a per plant basis.
• Mortality
  • Mortality refers to the % of trees you expect to lose and subsequently re-plant after the first establishment year.
    • If you do not plan to replant trees, you can create a tree Loss Event instead.
• Mortality Escalator
  • Mortality Escalator refers to the % increase in the cost of re-planting dead trees.
    • These costs will only apply to Operations categorized under the "Planting" group.
• Target Yield per Tree
  • Target yield refers to the desired level of crop production based on factors such as variety selection, local growing conditions, and historical yield data.
• Percent Target Yield per Year
  • These percentages, set for years 1-30, may reflect the gradual yield increases that occur as a crop matures, as well as any natural year-to-year fluctuations that may occur for a particular species.
