Plant load without all quality issues

Tomato

Description

Average number of set fruits and breaker stage fruits per m² excluding set fruits that have been marked as poor set fruits, cracked, blossom en rot or any other quality issue.

Formula

On the measurement date the set of stems is determined which were changed in the app. For each of these stems per truss the number of elements with status "set fruit" or "breaker stage fruit" is determined and multiplied by the truss density for that truss. We exclude set fruits that have been marked with a quality issue. Next, per truss number for all stems which were changed, an average is calculated. Lastly, the average values per truss number are summed. Harvestable fruits are not included in the calculation, as they require less energy from the plant.

Rationale for use

Provides an indication for when a truss may soon be harvestable. Says something about the speed of growth, which also allows for comparison between cultivations.
