Estimate marketable greenhouse yield after a heating improvement by combining current production, protected area, expected temperature response, crop duration, and loss rate. Use it to test a heating plan without treating the forecast as a guaranteed harvest.
Marketable yield = Area × Baseline yield × (1 + Heating uplift ÷ 100) × (1 − Loss rate ÷ 100)
The main result is the estimated saleable crop weight for the entered growing area. The change figure isolates the modeled heating effect while holding loss rate constant.
Heating response varies by crop, light, humidity, set point, disease pressure, and timing. Base the uplift on trials or grower records.
For 500 m², 8 kg/m² baseline yield, 12% uplift, and 5% loss: 500 × 8 × 1.12 × 0.95 = 4,256 kg.
Yes. The gross forecast is reduced by the crop loss percentage you enter.
Yes. A negative value can model a heating strategy that performs worse than the baseline, but it must remain above -100%.
Use pre-loss yield if you also enter a loss rate. Do not deduct the same loss twice.
No. It converts an expected yield response into production; it does not prescribe a crop set point.
Light, cultivar, humidity, pests, nutrition, and temperature distribution can all change the realized harvest.
