Crop plans / Potato / Farm discipline simulator

Farm discipline simulator · pilot · Potato

Nutrition decides about 1/4 of the yield.

Sowing, seed, water, weeds and pests decide the rest. Set a target, score your season across 10 levers, and see what is holding the yield back.

What yield are you aiming for?

Default is 300.0 maunds/acre. Sahiwal White. Know your own variety does better or worse? Type your own number. Then score how the season is actually being run below. The simulator shows what that gets you, and what would close the gap.

Your biggest opportunities right now

Seed Tuber Quality & Source. Currently OK. Getting this to Best could add up to 30.0 maunds/acre (model estimate, not a trial result).

Disease Management (late blight and other field disease). Currently OK. Getting this to Best could add up to 27.0 maunds/acre (model estimate, not a trial result).

Irrigation Management. Currently OK. Getting this to Best could add up to 22.5 maunds/acre (model estimate, not a trial result).

Target 300.0Scored 150.0150.0 short
Seed Tuber Quality & Source
Farmer-saved seed but 1st–2nd generation from a known clean/certified source, visually inspected and rogued
Disease Management (late blight and other field disease)
Fungicide applied reactively after visible late blight symptoms; monitoring only moderate
Irrigation Management
Minor delay or unevenness during initiation or bulking, but nothing missed outright
Macronutrient Nutrition (potash and nitrogen timing)
Potash applied at part of the optimum; nitrogen reasonably timed but not split to match peak demand
Insect-Pest Management (aphids and tuber moth)
Insecticide applied only after visible infestation or damage
Hilling / Earthing-Up and Land Preparation
Hilled, but late or with incomplete cover
Micronutrient and Soil Fertility (calcium, zinc, boron)
Micronutrient applied partially or inconsistently
Seed Rate / Plant Spacing
Moderate deviation from the recommended spacing or seed rate
Planting Time
Planted slightly outside the optimal window
Harvest Timing and Post-Harvest Handling
Timing reasonable but curing or storage practice incomplete
