In crop details it asks for “total annual yield weight" and "annual yield estimates by percentage". Do I need to fill both sections?
Both sections need to be filled in. The total annual yield weight is necessary to calculate the assessment results for the year you are assessing (the current evaluation year). The yield estimates are approximate and help to scale the data and get a results prediction for the full lifecycle of your crop. We do not have default data for any crops included in the Cool Farm Platform that may help to pre-fill these estimates but are trying to get hold of such data by the user community.

I don't see my crop in the drop-down list on the first tab. What should I do?
The crop affects your carbon footprint via residues, below-ground biomass, and nitrous oxide emissions from nitrogen application. If you don’t see your crop listed, choose from the “other” crops at the bottom of the drop-down list. The main impact of ...
The tool asks for liquid fertilisers and pesticides to be given in weight (e.g Kgs, tonnes) and not volume (e.g mls, litres). Is there something i'm doing wrong?
We don't currently have a liquid function so we take an approximation that 1Kg is 1L. This is in our pipeline for future development.
When we choose crop trees does that include the above and below ground biomass, or should I add the number of crop trees and it's diameter again in the biomass section?
The biomass of crop trees in the annual existing CFT module is not automatically included, this needs to be added in the biomass section. You should only account for crop biomass if the biomass is permanent and additional.
