My Crops

Learn how to define crop types to set their characteristics and traits. You can add new crop types, which are basically definitions of the types of crops you grow. Farmbrite comes preloaded with many different crops by default, but you can always add your own as well. The default types can also we edited to reflect your local conditions and climate if you'd like. As you create the crop types, you'll be able to define different varieties and strains of each, so you might have Peppers as a type with varieties like Bell, Jalapeno, and Habanero. This section also houses the planting details for each type/variety, where you add extra information like plant spacing, days to emerge, and soil preference. You also have harvest details, where you'll add the days it takes for the plant to reach maturity, and how much you would expect to harvest from the plant based on acreage or square footage. These factors are used to calculate when the crop should be planted in your climate, and how much yield your might expect to get from it. You can also create custom fields to track additional data if you need.
