Overall score = Σ (dimension score × weight). Priorities add weight to the dimensions they map to; the weights are then re-normalised.

Read the full method

Soil benefit uses legume nitrogen, crop-family sequence and soil-type fit. Water fit compares average crop water demand with estimated irrigation supply. Climate fit penalises heat above each crop's tolerance. Diversity counts distinct crop families. Season fit compares sowing windows with your setup. Priority alignment averages the dimensions your priorities point to.

All crop parameters are illustrative design values, not validated agronomy.

Why this recommendation?

• Soybean is a legume and can add nitrogen to the soil.

• Sorghum follows a legume and can use its nitrogen.

• Soybean is a legume and can add nitrogen to the soil.

• Sunflower follows a legume and can use its nitrogen.

• Average water demand 1.8/3 against estimated supply 2.6/3 (sprinkler irrigation; supply is a design estimate, not measured soil water).

• Season fit 91/100 for a April sowing month.

Uncertainty: moderate to high. Crop parameters are provisional and soil nutrients are unmeasured.
