Succession Batch Count Calculator

Testing a change in available planting window

Run another case with Days between sowings changed and the other inputs held constant. The difference in planting batches then shows the effect of that assumption within this formula.

Worked planting batches example

Division connects Available planting window and Days between sowings in this Succession Batch Count calculation.

Succession Batch Count evaluates available planting window at 84 days and days between sowings at 14 days as 7 batches.

Available planting window and the other inputs

For planting batches, collect Available planting window and Days between sowings on the Succession Batch Count basis.

Available planting window. Default in Succession Batch Count: 84 days.

Days between sowings. Default in Succession Batch Count: 14 days.

Reading planting batches

Read Planting batches as the answer to “Estimate how many succession batches fit in a planting window.” Keep the Succession Batch Count units attached.

Approximate intervals supplements planting batches in Succession Batch Count.

Save the Succession Batch Count value before rounding Planting batches to whole units. Rows that fit? See Raised Row Count Calculator.

Succession Batch Count in practical terms

Estimate how many succession batches fit in a planting window. Succession Batch Count limits that task to Available planting window and Days between sowings. The related Planting Bed Row Length Calculator finds total row length.

Save Planting batches with the Succession Batch Count units and scenario name.

Planting batches: condition to verify

The final sowing must still mature before limiting weather.

A zero Days between sowings leaves planting batches undefined in Succession Batch Count.

Checking planting batches in practice

Mark a short test section before applying planting batches to the entire layout. Mature spread and access needs can justify a wider spacing.
